The industry is already facing a bill of £100m for claims from the recent rioting, according to the Association of British Insurers (ABI).

Industry sources have predicted that the total cost of the riots so far could reach £500m.

However, insurers can claim back some of the costs from the government if the police or Home Secretary officially label the recent disruptions as a 'riot' under the Public Order Act 1986.

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.
