Grahame Chilton's team will be eating out less.

Benfield chief Grahame Chilton is tightening his belt and those of his colleagues.

Chilton is following other financial services companies and cutting back on the broking group’s expenses, including entertainment and travel.

It is looking to save £15m a year in costs from next year. Benfield staff are known for their love of steaks, so City eateries Chez Gerrard and the Gaucho Grill could see their takings hit.

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.
