Getting bored with the usual methods of measuring business volumes? Does the concept of GWP seem too outdated? Well, Alex Letts, chief executive of reinsurance hub provider RI3K, has dreamed up a new unit of measurement - the ubiquitous white van.

His idea is to calculate the amount of paper saved using the RI3K system and then work out how many white transit vans that paper would fill. "You could picture a stream of vans passing from brokers' offices to the reinsurers and insurers," said Letts.

A nice idea, but do we really need any more white vans clogging up the roads?

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.
