Backchat breathed a huge sigh of relief when Kent police finally charged three people with stealing the Securitas millions.

Insurance Times' writing prowess nearly landed a poor broker in hot water last week when it unwittingly announced: "Oval's £53m boost".

By coincidence, the Yorkshire broker had secured an acquisition war chest for the same amount as the Securitas heist. But police were not deflected by IT's prose and concentrated their efforts elsewhere.

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.
