The UKGI market has faced no shortage of challenges over the past year. Rising compliance demands, a softening market, and economic uncertainty have all added pressure, while the war for talent has pushed staff costs ever higher.
But despite these hurdles, the brokers included in the Insurance DataLab Broker Performance Report 2025 – set to be launched at the upcoming BIBA Conference – have once again delivered a strong set of results.
The average Broker Rating stood at 53.3% for 2025, only slightly behind last year’s record-breaking high and comfortably ahead of 2023’s figures.
Growth Slows, But Optimism Builds
While the growth pillar saw a slight dip this year, brokers continued to post improvements in profitability, with the average Profitability Rating reaching a record high. Productivity also held steady, with turnover per employee rising to more than £157,000.
We explore some of the key trends behind these results in the full report and in our upcoming webinar, The State of UK Broking – Performance, Regulation & the Road Ahead, taking place on 4 June at 11am. Hosted by Insurance DataLab co-founder Dan King, the session will feature expert insights from:
- Zach Gray, chief executive, Specialty Division, PIB Group
- Laura Scarpa, partner, Deloitte
- Graeme Trudgill, chief executive, BIBA
- Matt Scott, co-founder, Insurance DataLab
Everyone who registers to tune in will be sent a free digital copy of the report via our monthly newsletter.
The report also delves into broker performance by revenue band, with some of the strongest results coming from those with revenues between £100m and £500m – and it will also reveal the winners of this year’s Insurance DataLab Gold Awards.
Free copies of the report will be available from the Insurance Times stand (A40) at the BIBA Conference, where the Insurance DataLab team will be on hand to answer any questions. You’ll also be able to pick up a copy from the main BIBA stand (E90).
