Serving clients all over the world

Howden is a specialist insurance broker. We combine the strength of a global broker with the personal touch of a group with employee ownership at its heart.

Founded in 1994, we have always put our people first, knowing that the P&L will follow. It’s the same talent strategy today and our clients are the ones to truly benefit. 

Everyone has a voice. We’re a dynamic group, with a flat global structure and local leadership fully empowered to deliver for clients. Our advice on local laws, traditions and trends comes from people who live and breathe them.  

As independent local brokers, we truly care about our clients’ businesses and work hard to establish lasting relationships. It’s personal.

And we strongly believe in giving back to the communities we live and work in. For our 25th anniversary, we raised over $1.5m for our Group charity partners and local charities worldwide.
