The Co-operative Group is the take on 2,000 apprenticeships across all sectors, including insurance, to offer a non-graduate route to top jobs within the firm, the FT reports.

It is to invest £9m in an Apprenticeship Academy as part of a £16m package of support for young people, aiming to “reverse the negative image and treatment of those aged 25 and under and support their?.?.?.?ambitions”.

Peter Marks, chief executive of the £14bn-a-year Manchester-based business, has backed the campaign personally.

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.
