Sirius executives were left red-faced at a recent broker demonstration of the new system. After failing to get it to work live, Backchat hears the software house had to revert to a tried and tested Powerpoint presentation to demonstrate its advantages. The brokers were accordingly impressed.

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.
