Earlier this month (18 September 2025), the UK general insurance industry’s technology thought leaders gathered at the Royal Lancaster London for the Tech and Innovation Awards 2025, an Insurance Times event.

Around 300 guests enjoyed a drinks reception and three course dinner before 17 awards were presented across a variety of categories, covering focus areas such as data analytics, artificial intelligence and customer experience.

Addressing the audience in an opening welcome, Insurance Times editor Katie Scott said: “Although there is plenty of rhetoric that UK general insurance is behind the technology curve when compared to other industry sectors – and yes, we have to confess that there are still strides to go – it is important, however, to pat ourselves on the back for the massive progress market firms have made in recent years and the true innovation that is bubbling away in every corner of UKGI.”
