This Earth Day, we’re celebrating Seven Clean Seas, our partners in the fight against plastic pollution. Since our partnership began in 2020, we've removed over 287,000 kg of plastic waste from our oceans – the equivalent of 684 million plastic straws, or 28 million plastic water bottles. We believe that harnessing our collective power is essential in addressing the extreme challenges our oceans face.

Introducing our new cargo war risk facility to protect vessels from drone and missile strikes by Yemeni-based militia groups in the Red Sea. Our cargo war facility offers up to US$50m of coverage per insured vessel, and the largest limit quoted so far is US$150 million per vessel. It is the first dedicated insurance coverage of its kind to protect cargo vessels within an active conflict zone, which encompasses the Bab al Mandab Strait, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean. Ellis Morley, Associate Director, Cargo and Commodities, said: “The conflict in the Red Sea has presented a significant obstacle to clients with operations in the region. Vessels are seeking protection as they navigate this security hotspot, and we have worked with specialist marine underwriters to launch this facility.” Learn more about the insurance solutions we’ve brokered: https://ow.ly/ny8b50RhlV6 #Howden #ForceForGood #insurance #RedSea #cargo

We are devastated to announce that Will Bloomer, our Chief Corporate and Legal Affairs Officer, died suddenly and unexpectedly last week. Those that know him will be aware that he was, first and foremost, a family man, and his wife Nikki and his children have all our love and support. We know that many in the market will offer the same. Will joined Howden in 2012, when we were a business with a little over £100m in revenue. This week would have marked his 12th anniversary of joining Howden. In those 12 years he has had a very significant hand in everything, from our largest and most transformative M&A and equity transactions to his tireless drive to develop our employee ownership structure from 200 employee shareholders to more than 5,000 today. He was a brilliant lawyer with a commercial mind, and a friend to many, many people. He joined us after 12 years with Heath Lambert, later Gallagher Heath, having started his career as a solicitor with Cameron McKenna, but his impact was far wider than Howden and the messages and conversations over the weekend show just how many people loved him. We will miss his whip-smart counsel, extraordinary encyclopaedic general knowledge, indomitable and acerbic sense of humour, and his huge heart. Details of how we will celebrate and remember Will will be shared in due course, and we will follow the wishes of Nikki and his family in this regard.
