The ABI motor fraud database has caught its first insurance cheat - five months after the database was launched.

The database detected that the policyholder who claimed that his car had been stolen and recovered stripped had made the same claim six years ago.

The ABI hailed the database as a useful tool for insurers.

It said a recent survey by Third Stage Enterprise Solutions had shown that 85% of insurers felt the database would trap any attempt at fraud.

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.
