Testimonials
"I was referred to Thomas and the team at Howden Insurance Brokers after becoming dissatisfied with my existing broker. I have been extremely happy with the service provided by Thomas, he is professional, knowledgeable and knows general insurance policies and procedures inside out.
When reviewing my portfolio of insurances, he firstly spent the time upfront to ensure he understood all of the policies that we currently held and why they were in place. We reviewed the levels of cover to ensure they were appropriate for this like replacement value in case we had to rebuild our house.
Thomas was able to recommend several strategies that saw our insurance premiums reduce by combining cars on one policy and speaking to underwriters about we were using our cars. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Thomas to anyone looking for a professional broker to work with over the longer term."
Casey Sugden, Divisional General Manager, Ebix Australia

I feel safe and confident with these guys in my corner. I can’t recommend Howden and Thomas highly enough”.
