Insurance Times is used to strange enquiries and bizarre tip-offs, but one reporter was left bamboozled by one caller.

A man with a foreign-sounding accent said he had found Insurance Times in Yellow Pages and told her he needed insurance for his car.

He took some persuading before he believed our hack was not an insurance underwriter, but an insurance writer.

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.
