Royal & SunAlliance (R&SA) has been under the cosh for some weeks since announcing a huge cut in dividends at its results. Its solvency level is 35% - on the Financial Services Authority's (FSA) danger list - and it cannot seem to find anyone interested in its life book.

So someone must take responsibility, say the board. Sources say group chief executive Bob Mendelsohn is the one. As Insurance Times went to press on Tuesday, an anonymous tip-off claimed Bob had left the company that afternoon. The company naturally denied it.

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.
