Last week Backchat reported on the return of Markerstudy and its founder Kevin Spencer.

This week Backchat has heard of another spectacular insurance re-entry - Independent Insurance's former deputy managing director Phil Condon.

Market sources have sighted him in and around the bars and restaurants of the City touting himself as a "consultant".

Motivational guru? How to make a mint and then lose it? The consulting opportunities are endless, Backchat thinks.

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.
