I
have ranted about this before (Towergate and the archaeological old boys' club), but this little email exchange does
strike me as a little unfair from an organization (the CIfA) which advises its
members to “act
with impartiality and integrity in devising and implementing the procurement of
archaeological services in a fair, open and transparent manner.”
However, if I
were the CIfA I too would probably do the same and if I were
Towergate, well........again, I would probably do the same.
So, I get it!
Cheapest isn’t always best of course, but benchmarking cover and price
are the best ways to ensure that you are paying the right price for the cover
which you require – and that is only possible where there is more than one
supplier - which there is if you know where to look!

Hi John
Unfortunately
our principal sponsor for the conference is Towergate insurance and, as such,
we would not be able to offer an exhibition space to you this year.
Many
thanks for your interest in the conference.
Best
wishes
