About us

We know insurance, and we get to know you

At Howden, we do insurance differently – and we’re determined to do it better, too. We know the market inside-out, and use our knowledge to find the right cover for you.

We’re not about cookie-cutter, off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all insurance. We do people-first insurance, understanding the specifics of your insurance needs and match them with the insurer that’s best placed to provide that cover, at the right price. Personal, tailored, great value cover.

And no matter how complex the challenge or unique the situation, whatever cover you’re looking for, our team are here to help.

From home insurance to car, travel to boat; we have access to a range of mainstream and niche insurers, who offer the full breadth of policies to cover your every specialist requirement.

Our story

Howden, the new name for Aston Lark

In April 2022, the Howden Group acquired the Aston Lark group of companies, creating an exciting business of considerable scale, reach, and influence, focused on great customer outcomes, service and care.

On 1 October 2023, Aston Lark along with existing Howden businesses, were brought together to form Howden UK and Ireland, united under the Howden brand. 

Together, we are combining our collective power to be a force for good in communities across the country.
