  11. “The solution is to seek coverage from a specialist. Commercial art gallery/dealer insurance policies are often no more expensive than standard shop policies. Rather than taking a huge risk, we strongly advise art owners, dealers and custodians to invest in an appropriate policy from an appropriate provider” Gillian Henderson, Director, BrownhillInsurance Group and avid art collector “In a standard ‘shop’ policy, general insurers will certainly replace or reinstate items of stock that are stolen… but at their choice and only according to their experiences and expertise. Our sensitivity and flexibility with regard to the nature and value of artwork - in addition to our unique glazing offering - highlights us as the nimble and client-orientated broker that we are.”Gary Tommy, Head of Commercial Insurance at Brownhill Insurance Group For a no-obligation quote, please contact: Stephen Canning Art Dealer Account Handler 020 8358 8959 Stephen.Canning@BrownhillGroup.co.uk
