Insurance Times is at the Grosvenor House Hotel this evening, welcoming guests to the industry awards celebration of the year.

The Insurance Times Awards are back with a bang tonight. Following last year’s virtual celebration, 2021’s black tie event will see leading insurance professionals and thought leaders – including insurers, brokers, and ecosystem suppliers – gather in Grosvenor House Hotel’s renowned Great Room for a drinks reception, superb three course dinner and, of course, the all-important awards presentations.
