The latest quarterly survey of the financial sevices sector by the CBI and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) shows volume growing at the fastest rate for two and a half years. Companies say this signals the sector's recovery.

Although business levels are still below normal, significantly they are back to their pre-September levels.

General insurance firms, banks and building societies reported the greatest volume increases for the last three months.

PWC UK banking leader John Hitchins said: "Despite strong recovery in profitability and an increase in IT investment plans in recent months, businesses remain cautious about the outlook."

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.
