Sunday is the worst day of the week for household accidents, say insurers. DIY, gardening and lots of sharp instruments are being used by the unskilled and hung-over.

But Mothering Sunday, Backchat hears, bucks this trend. A survey by Post Office Home Insurance found that the number of claims on Mother's Day last year were down 40% on the Sunday average. Men are probably treating their mothers rather than doing DIY.

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.
