Insurance
Quartz Insurance Brokers have been appointed by ITV to provide both a production insurance and E&O/Media Liability insurance scheme for the benefit of the independent ITV commissioned production companies to ensure they benefit from the widest insurance coverage at the best value premiums.
ITV recommends that you use the ITV insurance offered by Quartz.
Please note the insurance premiums will be payable by the producer directly to Quartz and the line in the budget should match the amount of the quotations.
If you choose to use another production insurance policy then the production insurance schedule of cover and amount quoted will need to match the premium amount and cover provided under the ITV scheme arrangement.
