Backchat was chuffed to receive an invite from Intech Solutions for a winter sports jamboree in the Norwegian ski resort of Lillehammer.

We were expecting the usual gentle glide down a green run, followed by a couple of warming glühweins before heading straight to the après-ski bar, so imagine our surprise when we were escorted to the top of the 1994 Olympic Games bobsled run and strapped on to a glorified tea-tray.

About two minutes and 120kph later we opened our eyes to find ourselves at the bottom of the run - in fact so grateful to be alive that we would have done or signed anything. Backchat wondered if this was Intech's way of securing new clients.

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.
