Finnish insurer will provide best chance to save jobs

Anglo Irish Bank is in talks with Finnish insurer Sampo about a takeover of troubled Quinn Insurance.

AIB wants a partner with no current Irish insurance to help avoid job losses, the Times reports.

Sampo owns P&C Insurance, the biggest property and casualty insurer in the Nordic region, and Mandatum Life, a life insurer.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
