Zurich's senior executives are to begin a tour of the insurer's personal lines brokers in January.

Called Shaping the Future, the tour will enable the executive team to talk personally with its top personal lines brokers to find out how the insurer can improve and also to discuss business opportunities.

It is part of Zurich's strategy to become the third largest personal lines insurer

The tour, led by Zurich retail financial services managing director Ian Owen, will also promote three new support packages.

These will incorporate training, health and safety, business continuity planning and marketing. The package the broker receives will depend on profitability and potential rather than actual size.

Special rates have been negotiated with suppliers Searchlight and the CII.

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.
