Colchester-based insurance scheme specialists, Agency Underwriting Limited (AUL) is launching an online forum for brokers to participate in "professional two-way conversation".

AUL said all of its registered agent will be able to "express views, launch new products or just tell the world about themselves" in its monthly on-line newsflash.

Richard Lamberth, AUL's managing director, said: "Some of our agents have highly individual schemes and products and they all have interesting tales about the insurance industry.

"We've been looking at unusual ways to increase the value of services we offer to each agent and we think this is an industry first."

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.
