Penny Black's Insurance Week - 18 June

penny-black

Penny is no stranger to glitzy black tie awards dos, but Post's recent Claims Awards provided a rare first for even this seasoned veteran.

Judging by the looks on some of the faces scattered around the plush Kensington venue, Penny wasn't alone in being surprised and amused by guest speaker Colin Murray's impromptu decision to start handing out awards he had made up himself - such as the best dressed, the baldest head and even the most likely to get drunk and get up to something they shouldn't. Thankfully the lady from the LV table who had the dubious honour of picking up the latter ‘award' took it all in good humour.

Insurers face margin crush unless premiums are hiked
