About us

We know insurance, and we get to know you

We do insurance differently.

We’re not about cookie-cutter, off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all insurance. We do people-first insurance, understanding the specifics of your insurance needs and match them with the insurer that’s best placed to provide that cover, at the right price. Personal, tailored, great value cover.

And no matter how complex the challenge or unique the situation, whatever cover you’re looking for, our market-leading experts are here to help.

With more than 100 insurance products available, at over 100 branches across the country, our friendly branch teams are dedicated to finding you the right policy at the right price. From home insurance to horsebox, commercial cover to kit cars; we have access to a range of mainstream and niche insurers, who offer the full breadth of policies to cover your every specialist requirement.


Our story

In 1994, three young brokers (and a dog) took their destinies into their own hands and created an insurance brokerage with independence, employee-ownership and clients’ needs at front of mind.

Since then, Howden has grown into a multinational business, but remains true to the same approach that has won us long-standing clients, some of the best talent in the industry, and even a few awards for our cabinet.

Our unique high street branch network continues to grow, reflecting our commitment to serving our personal and home clients directly. Together, we are combining our collective power to be a force for good in communities across the country.
