Our out-of-breath London Market reporter would like to pant a big “thank you” to everyone who sponsored her recent bid to raise money for cancer.

Yvette Essen took part in the BT Swimathon last Saturday morning, swimming 100 lengths of a 25-metre pool in an hour. Thanks to donations from Aon, Allianz Cornhill, Natwest, Norwich Union and the Royal Bank of Scotland, the exhausted hack has raised more than £600 for Macmillan Cancer Relief, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and The Prostate Cancer Charity.

If you would like to join these companies in making a donation, please call 020 7618 3498.


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.
