Andy Haste has been named the Independent's City Businessperson of the Year in the insurance sector.
Analysts put the Royal & SunAlliance chief executive forward as the standout figure in the insurance industry.
UBS analyst Roger Hill said: "Mr Haste didn't start with the best set of cards, but he's managed to turn the business around by sticking at it. R&SA is a completely different company to when he took it over."
