Rumours reached Backchat last week that Chatham-based SK Underwriting was having a few problems.

We tried to contact SK director Colin Johns to find out if the gossip had any foundation.

After several vain attempts at tracking down the elusive Johns, the receptionist at SK Underwriting passed on a message from the man himself.

"If we're in financial trouble, why am I staying in a five-star hotel in Tenerife?"

Hmm...why indeed.

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.
