New Lloyd's chairman Lord Levene went back to the floor this week.

He has started his initiation into the insurance world at reinsurance broker Benfield Greig.

As the first chairman from outside the industry, Levene has decided to try to acclimatise himself to the wilds of the broking world.

Backchat has been informed that he will be introduced to all the relevant departments, specifically broking and claims.

"It will be slightly more advanced than a graduate trainee course," our source said.

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.
