Underwriting specialist aims to create a supply of well-trained underwriters

Commercial underwriting specialist Evolution Underwriting has promoted Hannah Forde to the role of underwriting assistant.

Forde joined Evolution in 2007 as group administrator before moving onto developing a career in underwriting.

Evolution Underwriting CEO Paul Upton said: “ We are determined to offer opportunities to our younger people and this is an example of promotion from within. As we broaden and grow our business over the coming years it is vital that we create a supply line of talented and well trained underwriters to manage the business. With limitations on the availability of talent externally we are investing in bringing through our own.”

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.
