Plain English users were being rewarded at last week's Crystal Clear day.

Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium hosted the event, which recognises organisations that have passed a landmark number of documents with the Crystal Mark for clarity.

Axa Sun Life's in-house plain English expert, Karen Maziarz, is among the first seven people in the world to be named a "plain English champion".

Further recipients of certificates at the event included insurance firms Cornhill Life, Consolidates and Financial Insurance Group, Das Legal expenses insurance, Lawclub Legal Protection, Pinnacle Insurance and Royal London Mutual Insurance Society.


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.
