The Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA) is conducting its third pan-European risk management benchmarking survey.

Online market research firm Toluna is sending electronic questionnaires to more than 2,000 risk managers on FERMA's behalf. Ernst & Young and AXA Corporate Solutions are sponsoring the survey, the results of which will be announced later this year.

The survey questions come under several broad headings:
• Risk management policy and practices
• Risk management support and relationships
• Risk and risk management objectives
• Risk communication
• Insurance

The survey will also question risk managers about contract certainty and competitiveness.

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.
