It is little wonder that disgraced broker Ward Evans collapsed. Its management accounts for the 11 months to 31 October last year show that while spending lavishly on cars, travel and champagne, the company spent nothing on light and heating. Backchat wonders if those staff sitting in the cold and dark trying to place cover knew their bosses were sunning themselves on their yacht in Majorca.

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.
