Everybody knows that insurance and IT are never going to be a match made in heaven.

Lloyd's is too busy with its love affair with slips of paper to commit to IT, and it seems that small brokers also have 'relationship' issues with modern day trading.

As Steve White, Biba's compliance guru, pointed out to Backchat: "It is probably cheaper to get rid of your wife than install a new software system."

High maintenance then?

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.
