Howden expands further in Wales

Howden has expanded further in Wales with a new office in Cardiff.

“I am very pleased to lead the opening of yet another office in Wales,” regional managing director Gary Stevens (pictured) said in an emailed release.

“An office in Cardiff was the natural choice for our expansion, and we are confident that increasing our presence in South Wales by growing our team of advisors to 20-plus [will enable] us to continue to provide exceptional services to our clients.”

The new office at Regus House, Malthouse Avenue, in Cardiff Gate Business Park, is set to house six brokers who will help drive the growth of Howden’s UK corporate & commercial offering. According to the global insurance intermediary group, more brokers are set to come on board in the coming months.

“We’ve already made great headway in attracting a team of highly skilled brokers, and we anticipate significant growth throughout 2024,” Stevens noted. “Our new Cardiff office, working closely with our Swansea operation, will play a key role in cementing our position as a leader in the South and West Wales commercial broking sector.

“We are very excited about our South Wales presence, and also becoming a principal partner of The British & Irish Lions for their forthcoming tour of Australia in 2025.”

Operating in 55 countries, Howden handles $38 billion of premiums and employs 17,000 people.
