Colchester, United Kingdom Howden Full time

Howden is a group of talented insurance experts who have the freedom to deliver for clients and the support to do what they do best. Our people are our biggest asset and our largest shareholder group, and everything that makes us unique - our culture, the quality service we offer our clients, and our continued growth
- all come from this employee-owned model.

All our people, whether they hold shares or not, are driven to create a business to be proud of. That’s because we’re all united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset, which means we take out work personally. Our people have delivered groceries to elderly clients, invented whole new products to meet clients’ needs, and even invited to clients’ weddings. We’re not about cookie-cutter, off the shelf, one-size-fits-all insurance. We do people first insurance.

This no limits approach means that we can rise to any challenge. Whatever the question, the concern, or the risk, we can get the right people in a room and find the right answer. Our collective power is also helping us to change the insurance narrative - doing right by our clients while using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses and communities. From pro bono work to insuring COVID-19 vaccine development to de-risking the carbon market, we’re using our skills, knowledge, and networks to make a difference and speed positive change in the world around us.
