Howden has had a presence in Istanbul since 2012 and the acquisition brings increased reach with offices in Ankara, Bursa and Izmir, according to a company statement. The business will be part of Howden’s Turkey, Middle East and Africa (TMEA) region, which has 12 offices in 12 territories including Turkey, the UAE and Oman.

ACP offers additional services for clients in risk, insurance policy management and post-policy period and works with international and Lloyd’s registered insurance and reinsurance brokers.

“This is a truly transformative transaction for Howden in Turkey and a key strategic milestone for us in the TMEA region,” said Hyperion CEO David Howden. “As a group we are committed to investing in high growth, dynamic economies such as Turkey. ACP’s strong expertise and excellent reputation in the local insurance market will significantly improve our offering to clients across the region,” Howden added.
