In the Insurance Times poll we asked you how the industry should respond to last week's Fairchild decision. In a landslide result, 56.4% of you voted for setting up a no-fault compensation / reinsurance pool.

Pushing for an employers' liability legislation change was the second most popular solution with 21.7% of people voting for it, while each company increasing reinsurance and reserves came a close third with 17.7% of the votes.

An impressively small number sat on the fence - with just 4.1% of people voting for `Don't Know'.

The survey was carried out online and 147 respondents took part.

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.
