The ABI has said that millions of motorists will be able to arrange their motor insurance quicker and more conveniently due to a proposed change in the law.

The Department for Transport announced plans today to enable motor insurance certificates to be issued electronically. Currently the law requires these certificates to be sent by insurers to policyholders by post.

Justin Jacobs, the ABI's head of motor insurance, said: “This is good news for customers and insurers. Over half of UK households are now online, and this will enable them to arrange motor insurance more speedily. This will be especially helpful when buying and taxing a vehicle quickly. It will also help insurers provide a faster, more cost-effective service to their customers.”

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.
