Standard & Poor's has placed its BBB- long-term counterparty credit and insurer financial strength ratings for De Montfort Insurance on CreditWatch with developing implications.

The ratings change was announced after HCC Insurance acquired a 34% stake De Montfort's parent, De Montfort Group Ltd.

Standard & Poor's credit analyst Marco Sindaco said the CreditWatch placement reflected the uncertain impact of the acquisition on De Montfort's competitive position.

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.
