Former AXA chief was tending his garden.

Did anyone spot Peter Hubbard, the former AXA Insurance chief at the Biba conference?

Backchat searched high and low for Hubbard, who had planned to attend at a guest of the CII, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Apparently the CII’s human resource’s department decided at the last minute that his attendance would not be appropriate in case it breached the terms of his gardening leave.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
