MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 10/23/11 — As October draws to an end, Mischief Night, Halloween, and Guy Fawkes are only a matter of days away. Swinton Commercial, the UK-s leading broker is urging all business owners to ensure they have adequate cover to protect against malicious damage to properties that may occur over this -ghostly- period.
In the past, shop windows, doors and paint work have been damaged during Mischief Night – a tradition more commonly known in the North of England when people play pranks and cause mischief in their local communities. Eggs and flour are often used as a prank, but the combination of the two can cause damage to paint work, flooring and even vehicles.
Swinton Commercial provides a range of low cost insurance policies for all types of business owners. Those concerned for the cosmetic damages to properties should ensure their policy includes which protects against damages caused to the shop front.
Any businesses selling or decorating properties with Halloween decorations are advised to take extra care if using candle lit pumpkins – this could result in a fire and therefore have a detrimental effect to a business.
Pubs, restaurants and landlord owners planning on providing a firework display for Bonfire Night should take out . This protects against any claims made by the public should any accidents occur from fireworks or sparklers.
Jolene Shaw, Technical Services Advisor of Swinton Commercial said “Halloween and Bonfire Night are annual events that many people look forward to. The events and decorations that go with this time of year are something that should be enjoyed by all. But it-s so important for business owners to ensure they have the correct insurance policies in place – if something goes wrong, it-s not only property that is at risk but also that business owners- livelihood. A few simple steps to take out additional insurance can make a big difference.”
