Event insurance specialist Worldwide Special Risks has launched a fireworks insurance policy with a very British twist: it covers adverse weather ruining your 5 November display.

“This additional protection allows peace of mind should the weather or other unforeseen factors force the cancellation, abandonment or postponement of the event,” says the company.

Clearly very useful in Britain when it seems to rain all year round except for two days in June (weekdays, of course) when the temperature reaches 38ºC.

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.
