Wow, Australia – what a tour. Hard to believe it’s almost a week since that final memorable match in Sydney! We’re still reliving matches full of sportsmanship and drama. The sea of red Howden shirts in the stands. The roar of fans. Unforgettable moments that will live long in The British & Irish Lions' history. Thank you to everyone down under – for the memories, the atmosphere and the warm welcome. Even when the tackles weren’t so friendly. Greatness like this? Always worth insuring. Until 2027… when we’ll be back for the first-ever Howden Lions Women’s Series in New Zealand. #HowdenLions #Lions2025 #InsuringGreatness #HowdenRugby

When life happens at work, how do we respond? Kelly Clark turned her lived experience into bold workplace change, pioneering menopause support and women’s health benefits here at Howden: https://ow.ly/l1vi50WBcSj For Kelly C., Head of Risk at DUAL UK, navigating a family history of cancer, followed by a preventative surgery, was part of her journey. Today, she's Co-Chair of our Women's Health Employee Resource Group, where real stories inspire real action. From specialist healthcare access and menopause champions to desk fans for every woman who needs one, Kelly is helping to build a workplace where support isn't whispered behind closed doors, it's designed into the fabric of how we work. “We wanted to normalise menopause. Not make it some HR form you fill out in secret but something you can talk about with your manager or your team, without flinching.” Kelly’s edge? Leading with empathy and making space for others to do the same. Curious where a career at Howden could take you?

In der aktuellen Ausgabe der VWheute spricht unser CEO Karl-Heinz Holz über die Entwicklung von Howden Deutschland seit dem Rebranding 2023 – und über das, was noch vor uns liegt: „Wir haben ein solides Fundament geschaffen: mit zentralisierten Funktionen, einer klaren Branchenfokussierung und einem Leadership-Team, das unternehmerische Freiheit und Eigenverantwortung lebt. Dieses Set-up stärkt nicht nur unsere interne Zusammenarbeit, sondern hat auch die Marktwahrnehmung von Howden in Deutschland nachhaltig verändert.“ Im Interview geht es unter anderem um: • Unsere integrierte und kundenfokussierte Struktur • Nachhaltiges Wachstum – inklusive neuer Geschäftsbereiche wie Affinity und Aviation ab Herbst • Warum wir Integrator statt Aggregator sind – und Zukäufe nur dann tätigen, wenn sie kulturell und strategisch passen • Die Rolle von Empowerment in der Führungskultur der Howden Deutschland • Unsere Positionierung in Schlüsselsegmenten wie Sport, Film & Entertainment oder D&O – in denen wir bereits heute Markt- und Qualitätsführer sind • Das Investment in unser Industriegeschäft – mit Fokus auf Wachstum, Spezialisierung und Kundennähe Den Link zum Artikel finden Sie in den Kommentaren. #HowdenDeutschland #VersicherungswirtschaftHeute #Maklermarkt #Leadership #Empowerment #Wachstum

First test. First win. Saturday in Brisbane saw The British & Irish Lions and the Wallabies go head-to-head for the first time in 12 years. It was a close match, but teamwork, grit and determination led the Lions to victory in the opening round. Every win starts with groundwork. In business, insurance is part of that foundation. Our insurance experts are here to help you build momentum and seize every opportunity. #HowdenLions #HowdenRugby #Lions2025 #Wallabies #Rugby #InsuringGreatness
