Last week's Michael Bright flowerpot competition caused quite a stir among our readers. Backchat was inundated by avid gardeners hoping to fill it with compost.

But there can be only one winner, Lloyd Setchfield, who was the first to state correctly that Bright's holiday home is in Fuengirola, Spain.

Setchfield told Backchat that as an ex-Indie employee, who lost shares in IICL, he is now "left without the proverbial pot to **** in". Congratulations - the pot is on its way.

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.
