About Insurance Times

Insurance Times is published by Newsquest Specialist Media Ltd (NSM), an international media organisation, providing specialist business-to-business and consumer information for a diverse range of industries, part of the Newsquest Media family in the UK and ultimately owned by Gannett, the publishers of USA Today.

Insurance Times is the primary industry platform and interpreter, reporter and guide for decision-makers in the UK General Insurance market. It is at the heart of the industry, catering for brokers; insurers; and the array of close service partners and providers forming the complex supply chains of general insurance.

The weekly magazine is the brand’s flagship product and the hub of everything we do. It informs and interprets; creates and leads debates on trends and the news issues affecting all our audiences. We break news – but we also produce serious investigative pieces, informative analysis on trends and issues, and insightful profiles on key players in the industry. Insurance Times is the must-read weekly for thousands of industry professionals and their service providers. We are respected (and sometimes feared) for our authority, integrity, impact, and weight.

The website - www.insurancetimes.co.uk – is the premier online source of news, and the stories behind the news for the UK General Insurance Industry. With news updated hourly, we regularly attract 35,000+ unique users a month. Our Breaking News and other sector-specific email alerts are relied upon by the industry to bring the news to their desktop (or Blackberry) and our unique searchable archive (1998-to date) is a highly-valued resource, not least because with the addition of sister brands Global Reinsurance and Strategic Risk , this archive delivers the entire insurance value chain in one source.

Insurance Times runs a small number of market-leading events including our famous annual Insurance Times Awards in December. This high-profile event brings together 1000+ insurance industry professionals to recognise the achievements of peers, competitors and suppliers. A rigorous panel judging process is combined with Broker-voted for categories (including General Insurer of the Year) and it really the Awards ceremony that matters most for UK General Insurance.
