Thank-you for leaving feedback, it's great to read a positive review and we couldn't agree more about the teams. The teams are what make our culture and are the only reason for our long-standing success. We understand the workloads can be challenging, particularly in a hardening market but we are working collectively to improve.

Thank you for leaving a review. As part of a regulated industry, we take our responsibilities to our Clients and the FCA very seriously. It is important to us that our standing within the insurance community is based on a high standard of competence, building trust with our insurer partners. For that reason, we invest in our teams both in terms of their training and their benefits. Over the last few years, we have improved our employee offering, including holiday entitlements to ensure they are competitive and meet the needs of our people. In relation to a bullying culture, I would be very grateful if you would contact me directly to share some examples – paul.sissons@howdeninsurance.co,uk
