Howden, one of the UK’s largest independent insurance brokers, was founded 30 years ago with a focus on exceptional service – something we still pride ourselves on today. We care deeply about our clients and communities, using insurance as a force for good to protect what matters most.
As a proud insurance provider with deep roots in Wales, we’ve been supporting businesses and individuals with tailored cover for decades. Our journey began in Cardiff in 1978, expanded to Newport in 2011, and most recently grew to include Ystrad Mynach in 2019 – each branch a testament to our commitment to local communities and long-term relationships.
All three offices are headed up by Karen Heaven, whose leadership ensures consistency, expertise, and a personal touch across our South Wales operations.
We specialise in both commercial and personal lines insurance, offering bespoke solutions for businesses of all sizes – from sole traders to large enterprises – as well as cover for individuals and families. Whether it’s protecting your premises, your people, or your peace of mind, our team is here to help.
With nearly five decades of experience and a strong local presence, we’re proud to be a trusted partner for Welsh businesses.
