Sirius Financial Systems and Close Premium Finance have joined forces to give Sirius brokers a real-time premium finance trading system.

The team said this means a faster and more profitable service for both commercial and personal lines brokers.

The new software release, which is an integration of the Close system, i-prompt, into the Sirius platform, is based on up-to-date eXtensible Markup Language (XML) technology and is available to brokers immediately.

Andy Wiseman, business development director at Sirius, added: "A lot of our brokers are using premium finance, but we wanted to make it easier and more profitable for them."

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.
