People FirstWe've travelled far since opening our first office in 1994. Back then we were local experts – based in London, with direct access to the world's biggest insurance market.

With 15,000 global colleagues and a partner network spanning more than 100 territories, we are the largest independent insurance broker in the world.

  • Aligned external investors
  • The trust and integrity born of friendship
  • Expertise
  • IndependenceOur focus on being a people-first business has always been at the very heart of Howden. Our vision was to create an independent business with a unique culture; one that would survive and thrive as a business controlled by the people working for it. Our employee ownership model sets us apart in the market. It's created a culture of collaboration and innovation, where we're driven to think bigger and empowered to challenge convention. Our flat structure and entrepreneurial spirit help us attract the best people and empower them to be the best version of themselves. And when we bring in and nurture great talent, more follows. That makes us better – and that's better for everyone. Diversity & InclusionAt Howden we consider our people our chief competitive advantage and as such we treat colleagues, candidates, clients, and business partners with equality, fairness and respect, regardless of their age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, marital status or family circumstances.

Permanent About Us Our Story In November 1994, David Howden founded a business that was literally the smallest insurance broker in the world.

It had no clients and no track record.

But it did have five things:

Equity ownership – the people doing the business, owned the business A minority external investor with a long-term outlook A product specialty 3 friends (and a dog) A commitment to building a business with independence enshrined in its fabric Today, the business has a global footprint of more than 14,500 employees in 50 countries spanning Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific and the Americas.

For the FY22 our Group's organic growth was 19%, our revenue exceeds (USD) $2bn, and we handle $30bn in written premiums for clients.
