Additional benefits of the Howden service


Supply chain risk management

Supply chains are more volatile now than ever before. You need to protect your supply chain in order to cope with unexpected delays and issues.

Under our business interruption polices, we regularly review indemnity periods to ensure potential delays are accounted for.   

Protecting brand reputation

Recalling a product or making a mistake that leads to negative media coverage can severely damage a brand reputation built up over many years. Bringing your reputation back to where it belongs can be expensive.

Our Product Recall Insurance and Product Contamination Insurance can help to cover the costs.

Cyber threats and data breaches 

Cyber attackers can wreak havoc upon a manufacturing business, from causing machinery failures to releasing sensitive customer data.

Howden’s Cyber Liability Insurance covers losses from an attack and offers immediate access to specialist expertise when a cyber-event occurs, with a 24/7 incident response line.

Protecting against insolvencies

Difficult market conditions and economic uncertainty add to the probability of clients or any part of the supply chain going out of business. Our Credit Insurance can protect you against the risk of your customers or suppliers going out of business.
