Howden Tiger to become Howden Re
Howden Tiger, the global reinsurance arm of Howden, is rebranding to Howden Re following the broker's broader rebranding in October last year.
The initiative aims to unify its broking operations under the Howden name.
Since the company’s acquisition of TigerRisk in January 2023, Howden’s reinsurance business has seen 25% organic growth for the full year and gross written premiums of $14.5 billion, with the division doubling geographic and office presence to 30 countries.
Howden said the business aims to continue expanding its international footprint, building scale in product and expertise, and attracting talent.
“Howden Tiger has proven to be every bit as transformational for the industry as we envisaged when we announced the deal nearly two years ago, having seen an incredible opportunity to create a fresh alternative of real scale for clients and a long-term home for talent,” said David Howden, chief executive officer of Howden.
“Stand out organic growth has been delivered by bringing the full capability of our diversified and differentiated client offering to bear, with reinsurance as the final pillar of the Group’s architecture in place. The business will continue to deliver for clients under the Howden Re name as part of a single Howden identity.”
Tim Ronda, chief executive officer, Howden Re added: “Howden Re’s clients and colleagues are at the centre of our business and success. I am proud of the incredible growth we have achieved working together, which has been significantly enhanced by the strength and identity of the Howden Group. It has allowed us to invest in new and deeper capabilities by product and region, responding locally and globally to the ever-evolving risks managed by our clients. I’m excited to be a part of the Howden journey and build on our reputation as a leading reinsurance broker and strategic advisor as we continue to grow.”
