Motor insurers can breath a sigh of relief, as it seems Martin Long, founder of Churchill Insurance has gone for good.

The entrepreneur who sold Churchill to Royal Bank of Scotland for a reported personal pay-off of £50m is to concentrate on his own interests and property development.

Long is said to be indulging his passion for all things Churchillian by spending more time on his land in Chartwell Farm, the estate once owned by Sir Winston.

Property development will be taking most of his time, with a block of flats in Kent his first priority.

No surprise what his logo is: a large bulldog.

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.
