Hastings broker Manor Insurance has given direct travel writers one in the eye by winning a prestigious business accolade.

The broker, run by Ian Mantel, won Customer Care category at the 1066 Business Awards.

Mantel picked up his gong last week from ginger footballing legend Alan Ball at a hotel in Battle. "We won based on our new travel plan which provides cover for older people and those with pre-existing health conditions," he 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.
