Insurance workers may be forgiven for thinking there has been a massive dotcom crash when IT bosses take to their sleeping bags in London's Finsbury Square on Friday.

The open-air sleep out is being held to raise money for NCH Action for Children, a youth homelessness charity.

One of those set to “rough it” is Conor Callanan, managing director of City IT provider Core. He said sleeping out in the cold for one night is a small price to pay for a cause as worthy as youth homelessness.

Last year's event raised £200,000.


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.
