MCE Insurance, the bike and scooter insurer has been banned from the 2006 Northern Ireland Motorcycle Festival at the Odyssey, Belfast in February.

Show organiser Louise from Nutt Promotions today confirmed the sponsor Adelaide Insurance had banned all other insurers from exhibiting at the show.

Julian Edwards, responsible for Business Development at MCE said: ‘We have negotiated excellent deals for riders in Northern Ireland with the UK's leading insurers. After a decade of overpriced bike insurance all we wanted to do was bring these deals to Northern Ireland.

Unfortunately it seems the organisers and sponsor of the Northern Ireland Motorcycle Festival do not want the public to save money."

MCE said it remains committed to bike insurance in Northern Ireland and is currently looking for other shows to exhibit.

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.
