Lloyd’s is regarded as the pre-eminent insurance market, with a massive reputation across the globe.

One renowned micro-sculptor, Willard Wigan, has created a replica of the Lloyd’s building to the exact precision and proportion of the real thing, but sitting on the head of a pin.

The meticulous effort has been praised by Lord Rogers, who designed the iconic structure.

Backchat wonders, however, whether the minuscule piece was commissioned by a bunch of Bermudan insurers looking to do their level best to cut the renowned marketplace down to size.

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.
