Norwich Union (NU) has withdrawn from insuring horses with immediate effect, as part of its ongoing review of business.

The insurer mainly underwrites business through eight large schemes offering leisure and domestic cover for up to £5,000. It has about 27,000 policies.

An NU spokesperson said the move would not result in redundancies.


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.
