What is an insurance broker?
Howden Insurance is one of the UK’s biggest insurance brokers. Put simply, an insurance broker is an intermediary between a client (that’s you) and one or multiple insurance companies. And at Howden, we go even further with branches available across the country, catering to the needs of our local communities, in-person and over the phone.
We know that insurance companies don’t always advertise all their different types of cover on their websites or comparison sites. Some insurances, such as income protection or critical illness need to be tailored to suit your individual needs. You also won’t find cover for niche areas on most comparison sites. So, if you need to cover an unusual property, a high-value antique or a high-performance car, for example, our brokers can help with those too.
We think it’s important to take advice from the experts to ensure you are effectively covered in the event of claim. Our expert brokers take the time to get to know you and fully understand your individual circumstances. They search through all available the insurance products to find the one that is just right for you – and at the right price.
What’s more, our advisors don’t earn commission. Their independence ensures they are focused on you. Our expert teams make understanding your individual needs and finding the perfect cover their priority – all delivered with a friendly and experienced approach.
