AN insurance company with a branch in Colchester was named Broker of the Decade at the prestigious British Insurance Awards 2024.

Howden is the world’s largest employee-owned insurance group, and its Colchester branch on the High Street is one of 200 in the UK.

Howden was honoured as Broker of the Decade - a new category for the 30th awards 2024 which took place at the Royal Albert Hall.

Alice Fey, branch manager at Howden Colchester, said: “To be named the Broker of the Decade is a real privilege and we are absolutely thrilled to have won”.

“As we continue to evolve to meet our clients’ needs, we understand that knowing your local Colchester broker is ready when you need us, however you need us, matters.

"Whether that’s the little things, from enjoying a cup of tea in branch while we sort your cover, to stepping up when disaster strikes, helping arrange whatever emergency accommodation, transport, or support you may need.”

She added: “Our focus is not simply being ‘on the high-street’ but ‘in the high-street’ - that is being embedded in the community, whether through charity work, local recruitment and career development, or helping other local businesses thrive.

“By giving back to our clients and the causes that matter to them, we can help communities to grow and flourish.”
