'There is no price war' is the battle cry of chief executives and underwriting directors across the country.

What then of the TV tussle between Michael Winner and Joanna Lumley? The two faded stars are fighting it out on prime time TV in advertisements for respective brands esure and Privilege.

The battle for the safer driver was flagged up by Insurance Times over two months ago. And the weapon being used? Lumley explains: "Privilege guarantees to beat any renewal quote for drivers with four years' no claims discount."

So that won't be price then.

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.
