The International Underwriting Association (IUA) has established a working party made up of practitioners from across the London market to help promote contingency insurance for public events such as sports matches, theatre and music concerts.

Andrew Duxbury, chairman of the Contingency Working Party and underwriting manager for financial institutions and contingency at Munich Re, said: "At the top end of the contingency market there are huge events with large amounts of money at stake driven by television and advertising revenue.

"But below that there is a middle field of smaller events that are perhaps operating without insurance."

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.
