What makes us different
We ask: what does ordinary look like? And how do we deliver extraordinary?
We’re building a place where brilliant people can be brilliant for a reason: our clients
Howden is an insurance broker like no other. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Our team has the freedom to think differently and the accountability to put their ideas to work. Together, this creates an environment where we say no to the status quo and prioritize what’s best over what’s easy.
Free from the systems and constraints that hold others back, backed by Howden’s three decades of global growth, you’ll feel the difference the moment you work with us.
Five ways you’ll see the Howden difference
Agile to our core
We’re built for broking that’s completely focused on what our clients need. Decision-making happens at the client level, where expertise and agility matter most, not in bureaucratic boardrooms.
Unmatched talent
We recruit the all-stars of the industry and make sure they have the freedom to deliver for clients in ways they know best. When we take care of our people, they take care of our clients.
Clients at the center
We revolve around our clients, completely committed to their success. This is how we attract the best brokers – people who want to do their best work for the clients they care about.
Shoulder to shoulder
Our teams are built around client sets and incentivized to collaborate across industries and geographies. That means our clients get unfettered access to all our experts, without the siloes.
Howden OS
Unencumbered by legacy systems, our tech and data Operating System is designed around our clients. Not tech for tech’s sake, but a unique platform based on practical insights and real-time information.
Our people make the difference
What happens when the brightest people have the freedom to solve their clients’ problems — and the infrastructure and global network to put those ideas to work?
You get experts who take ownership. Who see your business and your opportunities. Who are driven to deliver something genuinely better.
Howden has thrived on this principle since 1994. And we’re still growing. Over 1,000 colleagues have joined us in the U.S. since 2025 — and counting.
Built to deliver extraordinary from the ground up
Personally invested
Because we’re grounded in employee-ownership, our client commitment is more than a promise. When you win, we win.
Free to do our best work
Our business is built on autonomy, and our talent is empowered with trust. Decisions are made in real-time instead of a convoluted chain of command.
Innovation that starts with you
Free from the legacy systems and constraints that others face, we invest in innovation that works for your world. Not the other way around.
Expertise without the siloes
Our specialist teams work as one across broking, advisory, analytics, and capital markets, so you never have to navigate complexity to get what you need.
We launched Howden U.S. with a bold vision: build a retail brokerage where clients are number one, talent can thrive, and innovation sits at the heart of how we design and deliver.
