Lloyd's franchise board has started this year's round of scrutiny of managing agents' business plans. It was widely publicised that after last year's gruelling schedule, Rolf Tolle and his team would start looking at plans much earlier.

One managing agent described the experience: "The market has divided the good and bad by the time spent with Rolf and his men. If you are good, then 20 minutes will suffice. But if you're bad then they stay over an hour."

But a Lloyd's spokeswoman said: "The amount of time allotted on each business plan differs case by case. It takes as long as it takes."

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.
