Sandy Scott, director general of the Charterd Insurance Institute (CII), has only been in the job a few weeks. He said it was too early for him to say how he saw the future of the CII, but he said the institute could not stand aloof from change.

Michael Bright said: “Our image is old-fashioned, it's aloof and it's arrogant.” But he continued: “Our image does not reflect our business.”

Bright paraphrased JF Kennedy when he said: “Ask not what the CII can do for you, but what you can do for the CII.”


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.
