Local paper claims cover withdrawn a year after floods

Flooded homes across East Yorkshire are being blacklisted by insurance companies, a local paper has warned.

A year after severe floods hit the area the Hull Mail and East Riding Mail series of papers is reporting homes being refused cover and existing insurers pulling cover.

The papers have a “Play Fair” campaign and are naming and shaming insurers and brokers who withdraw cover.

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.
