It's a rare occurrence for Insurance Times to find something to praise in Post Magazine. This week is the exception.

At the British Insurance Awards, Post Magazine showed a degree of courage by including Independent Insurance in the short-lists for three of its awards. It must have been tempting to drop Independent silently from the short-lists and pretend its judging panel had not found things to admire in this failed insurer.

Whatever went wrong at Independent – and the picture looks darker day by day – there was much to admire in the company and its staff. Employees should be entitled to retain a feeling of pride for their work in the insurance industry. Post Magazine has acted in a brave and admirable manner.


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.
