Reins, reigns, rains

Insurance for every national obsession

Howden is the Official Insurance Partner of Ascot Racecourse

Our partnership with Ascot Racecourse launched at Royal Ascot in 2021, spurred on by a world-class Equine team and our founder David Howden’s love of horses. 

And this year we are celebrating 30 years of making amazing things possible for our clients, communities and colleagues. We’ve grown from three London brokers to a truly global business, with over 17,000 employees and serving more than 100 territories.

Why Howden?

Like Ascot, we have a proud British heritage and an international reach. Horse racing is a sport we love, and an industry with which we have strong ties. Our relationship with Ascot offers our Equine, Bloodstock, and Sport & Entertainment teams even more direct connections with the sporting industry.

We’re also involved with equestrian communities across the board, from partnering with the Pony Club and British Carriage Driving to sponsoring major meetings in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Australia.
