Ascot Underwriting stumbled at the first hurdle when its new Lloyd's syndicate began underwriting last week.
The managing agency, backed by AIG, took out an advertisement in a rival publication to announce it was open for business. But despite being ready to underwrite risks two months earlier than originally planned, syndicate 1414 had problems crossing the starting line - the newspaper had published the wrong phone number.
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.
