A real-time tracking solution to improve vehicle and cargo security to its fleet has been adopted Express Logistics, a leading specialist in secure transportation.

Called Orchid, the system has been developed by Global Telematics. It has already saved Express Logistics £1,500 in insurance premiums, with likely further savings.

Orchid pinpoints vehicles, including those stolen, in real time, and establishes security zones around parked cars. Alarms are automatically set off if a vehicle is moved outside of hours.

Express Logistics managing director Mark Priestly said: “We can now give customers an accurate picture of order progress and estimated delivery times. It can also confirm delivery to reduce the risk of late-arrival financial penalties.”

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.
