The 2025 Personal Injury Awards winners!
Celebrating excellence across the personal injury sector in 2025
Congratulations to our Personal Injury Awards 2025 winners
The Personal Injury Awards 2025, in association with FCIR, took place on Thursday 27 November at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate, bringing together the very best of the personal injury community for an evening of recognition, celebration and sector wide achievement.
The evening’s festivities
Hosted by comedian Jo Caulfield, with on stage introductions from the voice of the awards, Roger Tilling, the night delivered energy, humour and a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish. Guests enjoyed a drinks reception with live music from Hipster, before the awards ceremony began.
This year also highlighted the charitable spirit of the community, with attendees supporting Yorkshire Children’s Charity through an on site raffle and silent auction, raising valuable funds while celebrating another standout year for the sector.
A huge thank you to our headline sponsor FCIR, and to our category sponsors Active Care Group, Allianz, ARAG Legal Services, Financial & Legal Insurance, Frenkel Topping, Ignite Specialty Risk, Paladin Group and Premex for their incredible support.
And of course, thank you to our independent judging panel, who gave their time to assess an exceptionally competitive field of entries.
