To Mitre Street for FWD’s annual shindig – this year, gangster themed. Despite the fact that no one, including the hosts, donned their costumes, spirits were lifted (and beers too) by the in-house casino, complete with the old favourite, blackjack.

But the dealer’s emphatic declaration that insurance was unavailable, led our spy to veto the table in favour of the roulette wheel. Sadly, the evening came to an early end when virtual credit lines dried up.

In a desparate attempt to secure a bottle of bubbly, Backchat’s spy bet all on black – but ended distinctly in the red.

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.
