Insurers have a long history of sports sponsorship – but few have gone to the lengths of Dutch insurer Nationale-Nederlanden in its quest to celebrate a European footballing spectacle.

The Netherlands is co-hosting the European Championships with Belgium this month, with England being Britain's representatives for the event held every four years.

Just for the occasion, Nationale-Nederlanden has transformed its Rotterdam offices into the world's biggest billboard.

The building features Dutch international football superstar Edgar Davids, who plays for Juventus in Italy's Serie A, crashing through the glass building chasing after a football.

The stunning 150 metre high visual was created by sportswear manufacturer Nike.

It is as big as the Statue of Liberty in the United States and can be seen for miles.


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.
