Howden's goal is to have a global presence. At the end of 2024, the insurance broker had already strengthened its presence in South Asia. Today, the company is consolidating it in Australia with the acquisition of Major. Founded in 2015, Major has built up a diversified portfolio of SMEs. Combined with Howden's customer portfolio, this acquisition will consolidate the British giant's position in the Western Australian region, and enable it to benefit from the rapid growth of the city of Bunbury and the South West region in general. Major's managing director was quick to announce that he was "very happy to be part of the Howden family. The synergies between the companies are very close, and focus on customers, staff and the community as a whole. Howden's people-first philosophy, customer focus and professionalism were a priority for all parties when considering this partnership."

Howden offers customized insurance solutions tailored to the specific needs of each business, ensuring optimal protection against risks. It owes part of its reputation to its extensive global presence, which is more extensive than that of any other independent broker.

Their extensive experience is based on hyper-specialization. Know-how and a focus on people above all enable Howden to be relevant to every need. The company's ever-expanding geographical reach and precise knowledge of its customers' sectors of activity give it the opportunity to offer a service of excellence based on trust and proximity. Since the acquisition of TigerRisk, Howden has become the world's 4th largest reinsurance broker (an intermediary that carries out its distribution activities without any exclusive agency contract or other legal commitment).
