Why Howden?

What sets us apart? It's our collective spirit as an employee-owned business. Picture this: we began our journey with three friends and a dog in London back in 1994, and now we've grown into a global powerhouse with over 16,000 employees worldwide.

Each challenge you face is unique, and we tackle them with a potent blend of local expertise and our vast global network. We don't just create cookie-cutter covers; we tailor things around you.

The team at Howden have been amazing. Sorting out the right insurance at the right price for a hardware technology start up is complicated. I just kept getting quotes that seemed excessive and not appropriate for my type of business. Howden took the time to understand my business, explain to me the types of insurance and what I needed and then went and found me a much more competitive quote. It is a huge relief to have someone like Howden looking out for you and wanting the right cover. So thankful for their support.

As a Commercial Account Executive and team leader at Howden, my role allows me to work closely with customers and insurers to develop bespoke policies that protect businesses. By building strong client relationships and knowing that no single approach is the right one for every company and individual, I take the time to understand our customers’ needs and strive to exceed expectations. I like to get people excited about the things I’m excited about. For me that’s Howden – an employee-owned, people-first business with our customers at the heart.
