The best captions revealed.

Last week’s caption competition elicited no shortage of responses from Backchat readers. Not surprisingly, many were variations on a theme – cricket, eggs and Edwina Currie.

Neil Thompson of Healthcare and Protection’s suggestion of Major saying: “I need something hot – anyone fancy a Curry?’ certainly tickled. As did Graham Peck’s entry of John Major saying: “No, No, extra cover is just behind short mid-off”.

But Backchat’s personal favourite was from Jeff Dunn of AXA. Major is saying: “Oh so you are telling me that insurers are the men in grey suits. I always thought it was just me.”

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.
