The British Damage Management Association (BDMA)has welcomed conservators and restorers of all disciplines to its special interest group conference this year.

Generally conservators and disaster recovery folk come from very different perspectives and approaches. The traditional conservators and restorers have often done years of intense training or apprentices and tend to work from an established workshop in their specialist trade. The disaster recovery field has many roots in the
salvage corps which had been set up by the insurance industry in the 19th Century.

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.
