CoverMarque at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta: Building New Connections

The CoverMarque team recently attended the Institute of Directors (IoD) Business Breakfast networking event at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, one of the UK’s most iconic outdoor events, held at Ashton Court. 

It was an early start for the team, arriving at 05:30 to witness the spectacular mass ascent of around 70 hot air balloons as they took to the skies over Bristol. Following this incredible display, attendees enjoyed a programme of networking opportunities and insightful panel sessions featuring local business leaders, providing valuable discussion around regional growth, business challenges, and future opportunities.

While enjoying the unique setting, our team also had the opportunity to connect with a wide range of businesses that help make major events like this possible. These included event organisers, activation and exhibition companies, digital marketing agencies, hospitality suppliers, venue operators, finance providers, coffee suppliers, and equipment hire companies. 

At CoverMarque, we understand the unique risks faced by these businesses and can provide specialist insurance solutions for many of the organisations involved in events and exhibitions, including: 

  • Event organisers and management companies 
  • Exhibition and activation businesses 
  • Marketing and digital agencies 
  • Venues and hospitality providers 
  • Equipment and toilet hire companies 
  • Charities and community organisations 
  • Professional services firms requiring Professional Indemnity and Cyber cover 
  • Media and advertising businesses 

Events like the Bristol Balloon Fiesta are a fantastic reminder of the diverse business community we support. It was great to meet so many organisers, exhibitors, and fellow attendees, while also hearing from local business leaders about the opportunities and challenges facing businesses across the region.  

We look forward to continuing our conversations with those we met and helping businesses find specialist insurance solutions tailored to their needs. For more information about your business insurance requirements, get in touch with our team.
