Flood summit to put pressure on Insurers for “fairer” deal

Flood victim group the National Flood Forum is holding a summit in Cumbria next month to help people get a better deal from their insurers, the West Cumberland Times and Star reports.

The forum wants people to complete an online survey first.

Chief executive Mary Dhonau said: “Hopefully the outcome of the summit will be that insurance companies will start implementing fairer strategies, that there will be a continuity in the amount of money that is paid out in excess to victims and that people will be rewarded for implementing flood defences on their homes or businesses.”

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.
