Two of the best known figures in the City took time out yesterday to visit the East End of London when Lloyd's boss Nick Prettejohn and Economic Secretary to the Treasury Melanie Johnson, went to see to the 700 pupils of Bow Boys School.

The school is supported by Lloyd's Community Programme (LCP) which established a literacy scheme at the school two years ago. Forty reading volunteers visit the school every week to teach and encourage reading.

Prettejohn is himself a business mentor at another boys' school, Stepney Green, in Tower Hamlets.

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.
