Fusion Insurance has opened a regional office based in Manchester to cover the North West of England.

Executive manager Neil Clayton, who will be supported by regional underwriting manager Mike Ness, will head the Manchester team.

Director Geoff Crisp said: “Manchester is a major insurance market and we believe it is essential that we have a presence there.

“The opening of our Manchester office comes hot on the heels of our new office in St Albans and demonstrates our commitment to serving brokers locally.

“Neil and Mike have many years experience and, with their team in Manchester, they will be able to provide flexible and responsive underwriting decisions to our brokers in the North West.”

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.
