HSBC's Spectrum Vehicle Rescue now has a non-mandatory scheme option available to all brokers.

Since January 2004, a mandatory scheme option has been available only to its supporting brokers.

Demonstrations and previews of the scheme will be held at the Biba conference this week.

Online trading with Spectrum allows brokers to input risks, obtain quotes and print out policies and certificates. The free service also allows brokers to manage risk data, including adjustments and renewals.

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.
