Deputy PM and East Hull MP John Prescott has opened fast-growing Kennett Insurance Brokers' new premises in western Hull.

The 14,000sqft Kennett Office Park in Hessle was developed by the broker, costing £1.75m, and now houses four companies plus the business support organisation Business Humber. Between them they employ about 100 staff.

Kennett's chairman and joint managing director John Gray said: “The premises have given us the space we needed as our client base and team continues to expand. By being so close to the A63 and direct links to the UK motorway network, it also provides easier access to our 10,000-strong client base.”

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.
