Howden is a global insurance intermediary operating broking and underwriting businesses in over 100 countries, structured as one of the world's largest employee-owned firms.
Howden Group, founded in 1994, is a global insurance intermediary and one of the world's largest employee-owned businesses. The group operates across broking and underwriting, with its retail broking arm, Howden Broking, and its underwriting business, DUAL, serving clients in more than 100 countries and 56 markets. The company employs over 23,000 people globally.
The firm's ownership structure is distinctive among insurance intermediaries. Some 6,000 employees are shareholders, collectively owning 34% of the business. This model is intended to foster a culture of entrepreneurial thinking and long-term accountability, with staff encouraged to think and act as owners rather than solely as operators.
Howden operates across a range of sectors within insurance and financial services, including reinsurance and marine insurance. Its international footprint spans both established and emerging markets, requiring engagement with a wide variety of regulatory regimes. The company describes its approach as built around deep client relationships and a collaborative working model across its global teams.
