Santa may have something special in his sack this year for a number of ex-Independent Insurance executives.

Rumour has it that the now not so flamboyant Michael Bright (Independent's ex-chief executive) has been seen in the City recently.

This has led to conjecture that some former Independent staff may receive arrest warrants in the coming weeks. Could it be that all the false starts from the Serious Fraud Office and the City police are finally over, heralding the start of the legal case of the century?

And it is believed the firm's ex-managing director Phil Condon has contacted a few old mates to "test the waters" about him coming back with a new venture.

In the words of Tiny Tim: "God bless you - one and all."

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.
