Ex-AXA chief steps into the limelight.

Look out for Peter Hubbard, the former AXA Insurance chief executive, at this year’s Biba conference. Backchat’s spies say Hubbard is attending as a guest of the CII.

Readers may recall that Hubbard was made a non-executive director of the institute earlier in the year.

No doubt Hubbard, who departed the French-owned insurer suddenly last month, will be keen to take advantage of the networking opportunities.

Certainly beats tending the garden.

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.
