This year's Biba conference provided the usual hotbed of rumour and intrigue, which saw Backchat scurrying from meeting to meeting, notebook brimming with possible stories.

Imagine Backchat's disappointment when, following up what could have been the story of the conference, the response from the person in the know was: "That's as likely to happen as Roman Abramovich buying Insurance Times."

Just call us the future Chelsea of the insurance press.

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.
