Who are we?
Howden is a collective – a group of talented and passionate people around the world. We have pushed the boundaries of insurance and are united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset. Our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team of 18,000 employees across over 100 countries.
People join Howden for many reasons, but they stay for our culture. It’s what sets us apart and why our employees have been turning down headhunters for years. 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 aim to change the insurance narrative—doing right by our clients and using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses, and communities. From pro bono work to insuring COVID-19 vaccine development and de-risking the carbon market, we use our skills, knowledge, and networks to make a difference and foster positive change.
