London Market Group adds broking veteran from Howden to strengthen board

The London Market Group (LMG) has appointed a top Howden leader as a representative of London & International Insurance Brokers Association (LIIBA).

An experienced veteran across the broking sector, Sarah Hughes, CEO of Howden Specialty, has joined the LMG board.

Hughes was appointed CEO of Howden Specialty in October 2023, after joining as global practice leader, financial lines, in February 2020.

Sean McGovern, chair of the London Market Group, said: “Sarah brings a wealth of industry experience gained at several of the largest businesses in the broker marketplace. Her expertise will add great strength to the board of the London Market Group as it continues to advocate for the insurance market in a busy election year.”

Hughes commented: “As businesses face an unprecedented level of risk beyond their physical assets and services, there has never been a more important time for the insurance industry to prove its importance as an enabler of change. Geo-political, climate, cyber and reputational risks all pose real challenges, but also represent an opportunity for the London Market, which has always been a home for innovation, to demonstrate the critical role it can play in developing innovative solutions to solve the big issues impacting business and society. It’s what makes London the world leading global insurance market and I am excited to play a role in championing all those who work within it as a member of the London Market Group board.”
