Bermuda-based Allied World Assurance Company (AWAC) has opened an office in Dublin to write local and EU business.

AWAC writes worldwide property and casualty insurance and reinsurance.

AWAC was given an A+ AM Best rating when it was launched in November last year, with about $1.5bn (£0.96bn) in equity capital from Chubb Corporation, AIG and GS Capital Partners.

John Redmond, who spent the previous 23 years at Chubb, will run the European operation.

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.
