Howden, the new name for Cherished Vehicle Insurance and RH Specialist Insurance

Welcome to Howden

As of November 3rd 2025, Howden Insurance is the new name for Cherished Vehicle Insurance and RH Specialist Insurance.

Both Cherished Vehicle Insurance and RH Specialist Insurance have been part of Howden Group since 2022 and 2016 respectively.

The purpose behind the acquisition of these two brands was to allow us to offer a wide range of services, particularly relating to classic motor policies. Bringing these brands together also enables us to simplify processes for clients, whilst also providing the same comprehensive service under the Howden umbrella.

For Cherished Vehicle Insurance and RH Specialist Insurance’s clients, the service remains the same, via their usual contacts, and their phone numbers and email addresses continue to work.
