Oval has launched a new personal accident (PA) and travel division based in its London offices.

Richard Wigmore, who heads the team, is currently supported by Steve Green and Joe Balsom, but there are plans to expand the division in due course.

Wigmore previously ran the PA and travel division of Stafford Knight & Co, which was subsequently purchased by Towergate.

Green and Balsom both joined Oval from Folgate earlier this year.

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.
