Howden in Turkey  

Howden entered the Turkish insurance market in 2011 and has been serving as one of the leading brokers in the market for over 10 years. We provide innovative and reliable solutions in risk management, insurance brokerage, and specialty risk insurance to both corporate and individual clients.

As part of Howden Group, Howden Turkey combines its local expertise with the strength of our global network through the 'People First' approach and entrepreneurial culture. Our activities are always focused on delivering the best service by addressing the unique needs of individuals and organizations.

In 2018, we strengthened our expertise in specialty risk insurance with the inclusion of ACP Sigorta ve Reasürans Brokerliği. Today, the ACP and Howden Re brands are united under Howden Turkey, reinforcing our leadership position in the sector with our insurance and reinsurance brokerage services.

As Howden Turkey, with offices in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Gaziantep, and Konya, we continue to reach across Turkey, offering both local and global solutions to our clients.

As Howden Turkey, with the strength of being part of a global group, we continue to grow and create value for our clients by combining our deep expertise in local markets

Employee ownership at our heart 

Howden employees are shareholders everywhere in the Group, and we aim to keep growing with our people so they continue to feel that they are part of the future and success of the business.

While we are backed by patient, long-term investment capital, employees will always remain the largest shareholder group.

This has a noticeable effect on the culture.  

At Howden, everyone has a voice. Ideas are embraced, effort gets rewarded and meritocracy is real. All in an environment where people enjoy their work and have fun.  

We foster an environment where people feel valued and cared for, and enjoy rising to every new challenge. 

Empowered to serve you  

The experience we give our clients is everything to us. Our success comes from valuing every client and working to build relationships for the long term.  

This is only possible because of our employee ownership model and sustainable capital. No one is thinking short term.  

We can be completely client-focused because those who are closest to our clients make the decisions.   

We have a noticeably flat hierarchy for a global organisation of such size and scope, and most senior leaders still have hands-on involvement in placing risks.   

Wherever you do business, you’ll be supported by vast experience and deep-rooted local understanding. Our advice in local markets comes from people who live and breathe them.
