Mystery surrounds who is to head up the new SOC Insurance Fund (SOCIF) syndicate.

Market speculation this week was that Danny Wright had left ACE Underwriting to become chief underwriter for SOCIF.

ACE confirmed that Wright had left the company, but a spokeswoman for SOC Group said that there was no truth in the rumour that Wright was joining them.

SOCIF has spent several months raising $400m (£259m) for its new venture at Lloyd's.

The firm will use the $400m to support underwriting through a new Lloyd's syndicate on 12 other Lloyd's syndicates, via qualifying quota share (QQS) reinsurance agreements.

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.
