The insurance industry does not have too many “fat cats”, according to a recent survey of FTSE 100 directors. Indeed, CGNU was the only general insurer that had a significant showing in the survey.

Ex-group chief executive Bob Scott is top of the CGNU pile with total remuneration (including options) of £1.6m for last year. Next is Peter Ward, who left the company last year. He picked up £1.4m. New group chief exec Richard Harvey collected £1.2m and Peter Forster picked up £1.1m.

Despite Misys' Screentrade performance, three of its directors picked up more than £1m last year. And Capita bosses Gordon Hurst and Paddy Doyle picked up over £2m each.

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.
