Howden, the global insurance intermediary group, has opened a new office in Cardiff, to support businesses with tailored insurance solutions.
Located at Regus House, Malthouse Avenue, in Cardiff Gate Business Park, the new office follows the recently inaugurated office in Swansea last month and Howden’s acquisition of Watkin Davies in 2020.
The firm states that the addition of a new Cardiff office underscores its dedication to becoming a “prominent force” in the commercial broking sector in South and West Wales. The expansion will be overseen by Gary Stevens (pictured), regional managing director.
Stevens said: “I am very pleased to lead the opening of yet another office in Wales. An office in Cardiff was the natural choice for our expansion, and we are confident that by increasing our presence in South Wales by growing our team of advisors to 20+ enabling us to continuing to provide exceptional services to our clients.”
Under his leadership, the new Cardiff office is set to accommodate a team of six brokers, with more set to join in the coming months.
Stevens added: “We’ve already made great headway in attracting a team of highly skilled brokers, and we anticipate significant growth throughout 2024. Our new Cardiff office, working closely with our Swansea operation, will play a key role in cementing our position as a leader in the South and West Wales commercial broking sector.
“We are very excited about our South Wales presence, and also becoming a Principal Partner of The British & Irish Lions for their forthcoming tour of Australia in 2025.”
