Welcome to Howden – the new name for Barnett Waddingham
On 7 April 2025, Barnett Waddingham (BW) completed its acquisition by Howden, creating one of the largest pensions and employee benefits firms in the UK.
This acquisition enhances our ability to deliver greater value to clients through expanded capabilities, alongside Howden's global reach and expertise.
Our people remain the same. Our commitment to providing a quality service remains the same. What changes are the opportunities and resources we now have to help you achieve your goals.

Barnett Waddingham brings exceptional expertise and a culture that matches our own, and together we now give clients the full range of pensions, risk and employee benefits advice in one place.
