About Us

Having always thought that I would spend my working life in the Archaeology / Heritage sector, I was disappointed when what I considered viable career options didn’t open up for me on the completion of my Doctorate. However, I had a plan: work on the ‘other side’ in business for 10 years, get rich and then return to Archaeology on my own terms! Well, that didn't happen. What I should have done was set up a tools supply operation, like my friend Diarmaid of Archtools – and mix the two worlds.

Anyway, I didn’t and I found myself eventually selling business insurance – and after a few days, I realised that this is where I can mix the two worlds! Insurance for Archaeologists by Archaeologists! Most insurance brokers and insurers have no idea what Archaeologists do – "is that the same as groundworkers or farmers?" "No, we don't insure gardeners." "Oh, architects, we don' t insure them either." "ARCHAEOLOGISTS!!!!"
