Swiftcover has launched a new quotation service for mobile phones. The online insurance provider's new Swift Text service will enable customers to obtain a motor quote delivered direct to their mobile phones within five minutes.

Swift Text was developed by Text2Insure and represents a new development for motor insurance.

Andrew Blowers, chief executive of swiftcover.com comments: “Swift Text is a clear example of our commitment to innovation. In an era when many consider their lives to be negatively affected by time pressures, our aim is to enable consumers to purchase insurance quickly and at their convenience. A text system for quotes is a natural addition to our online service, where consumers can get quotes, buy and manage policies and make claims entirely online. Most importantly, we are providing digital solutions in an increasingly digitalised market, and cutting out the call centre which not only minimises frustration for the consumer, but allows us to deliver some of the cheapest premiums on the market.”

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.
