Howden UK Proud To Sponsor DASLS Award
Howden UK Group is delighted to be sponsoring an award at the upcoming Devon and Somerset Law Society (DASLS) awards evening. We recognise the work and effort that DASLS puts into the law community as a whole and by sponsoring an award, we are aligning the Howden brand to this good work. Howden has a strong presence in the legal sector but by involving ourselves in these awards, we are looking to get even more involved within the Devon and Somerset local law community.
Howden is part of the Hyperion Insurance Group, with employee ownership at its heart. The Group comprises broking divisions Howden and RKH, underwriting division DUAL and Hyperion X, our data and technology business.
Howden is the world’s largest independent international insurance brokers, providing a range of specialist insurance solutions to clients around the world. Our local and global footprint allows us to blend the very best features of a local broker with the scale of an international group. We are owned by our employees and a few select long term backers. This creates a culture where everyone shares the same passion and commitment, day-in-day-out, to doing their absolute best for each other and our clients.
Our local insurance specialists are positive and personally invested in our clients’ success, with the skills and backing to help them to achieve their goals. Our aim is to free people and businesses from the financial and mental burden of risk by providing tailored insurance, risk planning and claims support, from people who know the legal sector inside out.
In fact, our Solicitors Professional Indemnity division is one of the most experienced teams in the market, consisting of over 30 specialists dedicated to servicing the legal sector. We have regional offices across the country including Cardiff and Bristol.
Our size and presence allows us to obtain quotations directly from insurers and we are proud to offer our clients one of the widest selections of ‘A’ rated providers available. This, matched with the strength of our relationships in the market, sets us apart as one of the leading brokers when placing insurance on behalf of our clients, which range from sole practitioners to several of the UK’s top 100 legal firms.
We also offer a customised employee benefits and wellbeing plan. Our consultants are renowned for their market-leading expertise and creative approach to benefit design, to help build real value for your workforce and business.
We strongly believe in giving back to the communities we live and work in. For our 25th anniversary last year, The Hyperion Foundation launched the Million for a Million initiative, setting out to raise over $1 million through encouraging employees and key business partners to take on new challenges. By the end of the year the business had raised $1.2m, benefitting four key charity partners, carefully selected by our employees. We also globally supported a further 33 charities nominated by local offices worldwide, raising $400,000 to benefit the wider community in which we work.
