QBE European Operations, Cathedral and Chaucer have signalled their backing for the Kinnect electronic platform at Lloyd's.

Kinnect said the number of businesses supporting the platform now stands at 18, with the 15 managing agents representing 60 per cent of Lloyd's capacity.

The platform has also released volume figures for the first time today.

The figures show that since May last year, when brokers Marsh and Willis began putting their North American property risks across the platform daily, Kinnect has handled more than 500 risks in that one class, representing over 1,300 signed lines and $800m (£417m) in premiums.

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.
