It seems some insurers will do anything to avoid paying out on a claim. Backchat hears that an insurer disputed a fire loss claim lodged by a commercial tenant after it emerged that the building it leased was owned by a recently-jailed mobster. It seems that the insurer, none of whose claims staff have obviously seen The Godfather, felt that the tenant should have alerted it to the potential for damage to occur.

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.
