Broker relationships credited as helping growth

Fortis UK continues to grow its premium income, driven by its expansion into commercial lines and life protection.

The insurer reported a nine-month increase in non-life gross written premium of 6.1% to £617.1m, from £581.9m for the same period last year.

Its third-quarter results increased 5.5% compared with second-quarter results of £215.5m.

Chief executive Barry Smith said market conditions were “challenging”, but its broker relationships and multi-channel distribution had helped the company to grow.

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.
