Howden UK CEO to depart

Adrian Colosso, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Howden UK, is set to step down from the role at the end of July.

Colosso came out of retirement in May 2013, joining Howden Broking Group to support its development and expansion, said Hyperion.

Following the merger of Hyperion and RKH Group, and subsequent restructuring of the group’s broking businesses into Howden UK Group and Howden International, Colosso was appointed as CEO of Howden UK.

David Howden, Hyperion CEO, said:“Adrian is one of the best-known and most respected figures in the market, a reputation well-earned following his numerous achievements throughout his career.

“I will always be grateful that he accepted my request to come out of retirement and would like to thank him for the significant contribution he has made to our business; he has played a critical role in positioning Howden UK for its next phase of transformation and growth.

“Adrian is someone I have found terrific fun to work with, and I admire the amount he accomplished for us in a short space of time. He leaves a business well-positioned to continue its strong momentum as we enact our ambitious growth strategy. Myself, along with everyone else at Hyperion, wishes him the very best for the future.”
