Gerling has come under increased pressure from one of its biggest customers to step up efforts to lift its credit rating.

Bayer has warned that it will not renew a big liability insurance package with Gerling unless the capital-stretched insurer's credit rating of BB+ improves to at least BBB by mid-July.

The warning comes a month after Gerling sold 90% of its business to a consortium led by Swiss Re.

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.
