Schoolchildren took over the boardroom of Ipswich-based Ryan Insurance Group this week on a fact-finding mission.

Managing director, Colin Ryan, handed over the reins to a dozen pupils from Beacon Hill school as they visited the broker to find out about the world of work.

The company also handed over two cheques totalling £315 to the Ipswich School for children with special needs between the ages of five and 16.

The dozen or so year six pupils enjoyed a guided tour of the offices, parts of which date back to Tudor times, and met staff from different departments before collecting the cheques.


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.
