The glamorous world of international rugby is not something many people would associate with insurance broking, but it would appear that the broking community has an unlikely star in its midst.

Backchat has learned that international referee Alan Lewis, who has officiated in both Six Nations and World Cup matches, is also the managing director of insurance broker Lewis Hohn Williams in Ireland.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
