About Howden
From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture – one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.
People come to Howden for many reasons, but they stay for our culture. That’s what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent. Whether your priorities are work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, or volunteering, you'll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.
With a no-limits approach, we rise to any challenge. We gather the right people to find the best solutions, and our collective power helps us change the insurance narrative—doing right by our clients and using insurance to build resilience for individuals, businesses, and communities. We engage in initiatives like pro bono work, insuring COVID-19 vaccine development, and de-risking the carbon market, leveraging our skills, knowledge, and networks to make a positive impact.
