The prospect of FSA regulation is distracting, but the failure of one broker to keep up with events beggars belief.

Backchat was told that a broker recently rang up to inquire about the payment of a claim. Not unusual, you may think, save for the fact that the claim was against an Independent Insurance policy.

The fact that the insurer had gone into provisional liquidation nearly three years ago in a blaze of national publicity seemed to have passed the broker by.

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.
