The poll in Insurance Times asking readers to vote whether they would join a voluntary General Insurance Standards Council, the self-regulatory body in the UK, received our highest number of hits.
More than 1,400 clicked on www.insurancetimes.co.uk last Friday. The no vote won by 56.4% while 43.6% were in favour of joining.
The poll was carried out after the General Insurance Standards Council was forced into a U-turn recently by opting for voluntary membership for at least the next 12 months.
GISC made the decision after discovering that it could face a legal challenge on compulsion because of the New Competition Act, which becomes active from March 1. This was the first time the Insurance Times site was used for such a poll.
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.
