Dear colleagues, clients and partners,
We are thrilled to have won Broker of the Year 2020 at the annual Insurance Insider Honours.
The Insurance Insider Honours are industry renowned international (re)insurance awards that recognise market talent and achievement. This year judges chose Howden out of a formidable shortlist of brokers that included Acrisure, Aon’s Reinsurance Solutions, McGill and Partners, and TigerRisk Partners. Congratulations to all the nominees, and thank you to the Insider who arranged a fantastic evening online. We are proud to be in such a great industry and one that retains such a relevant role in the world.
I am immensely proud of this award, especially receiving it in 2020. It has been a year like no other for everyone and this win is testament to the resilience of our business and the strength we have in our teams across Howden.
This award is for each one our 4,500 employees that make up the Howden world. We have always backed our people to deliver for clients, and I am grateful to our brokers who have continued to go over and above this year, and our central functions who have excelled at keeping the business running as usual in the most unusual times.
We are at a very exciting point in our journey and confident that this is just the beginning of our next phase of growth. We welcome a new financial year, not only as Insider’s Broker of the Year, but proudly as the home where entrepreneurial talent continues to thrive. We remain focused on embracing change for the benefit of clients, whilst continuing to build a business committed to expertise, independence, equity in the hands of employees, and above all, friendship and trust.
We look forward to sharing the next chapter with you all.
José Manuel González
CEO, Howden Broking Group
