Howden, the global insurance group, today unveils a new brand as it brings together its global broking operations under one name. The rebrand follows Howden’s announcement in April that it would unify and simplify its business structure under a single, aligned global executive, with insurance broking, reinsurance broking and underwriting reporting directly to David Howden, CEO.
David Howden, CEO, Howden comments:
“As we unveil our new brand and enter our 30th year, we are excited to mark this new chapter for Howden. I am incredibly proud of what we’ve built. The Howden brand will be represented by 15,000 people in 50 countries, not only capturing the scale of the firm’s operations for millions of clients but also, with a fresh and dynamic visual approach, expressing their collective difference.
“By remaining true to our founding principles of independence, employee ownership, expertise, friendship and trust, we have created a company owned and run by the people that work in it. We have the architecture in place, and by continuing to bring the best insurance expertise to our clients, we can now unlock further opportunities for growth through the power of a single global brand.
“As we move forward at scale our focus is firmly on harnessing our collective power, attracting talent and aligned businesses and putting our people first. By investing in our infrastructure and empowering our experts to do their best for our clients, we can show the force for good we know insurance can be.
“We act for clients ranging from individuals to the largest global corporations, spanning the full spectrum of local, specialty and international (re)insurance. We now have a brand that shows all we have to offer our customers. It reflects who we are.
“Our go-to-market strategy is simple; we are committed to acting as one business, bringing the full force of all our experts, regardless of specialism or geography, for the benefit of our clients. That way, with transparency and trust, I can promise that all our stakeholders get the very best of us.
Amit Agarwal, CEO, Howden India says, “As we move forward, we are consolidating our collective strength under a single, powerful umbrella, fostering innovation, efficiency, and outstanding value for our clients. We will work together to build a future in which Howden is a beacon of excellence, setting new industry standards and providing great customer experiences. We are committed to fostering a culture in which every individual, working with us, is not just acknowledged, but also celebrated. Performance excellence gets enlivened by this culture of empowerment and respect”.
As of today, Howden’s Indian operations span seven offices and over 300 employees with specialist expertise servicing local clients. India is one of the world’s fastest growing insurance market and Howden’s aspiration is to become a top three broker in the country by 2026, building on its solid reputation as a specialised commercial intermediary. Howden’s focus is to continue to build out its capabilities and invest in local expertise, including reinsurance, for the benefit of its Indian and multinational clients.
