Burgesses has launched a monthly loan protection policy to combat loan companies profiting from charging large premiums.

Burgesses said major lenders are “breaching FSA rules” by using mis-leading sales techniques to encourage borrowers to sign up to “expensive front loaded loan protection cover.”

The cover it is launching, it said, could be as much as 80% cheaper than that on offer by loan companies. It would also offer back to day one cover instead of a 60 day excess which is usually provided by companies.

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.
