While the industry may be looking forward to making additional profits from a war in the Gulf - owing to few claims and higher premiums - the stock market has shown that it is unlikely to treat the industry kindly.

Fear of war has been sending the FTSE south, and the insurance sector has been following it downward.

But there has been some interest in the market. Two Lloyd's operators are planning to float - with venture capitalists reportedly keen to invest - and a start-up is also looking to make an entrance. Perhaps there is a beacon of hope after all.

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.
