Information about the relationship between A-Plan Holdings and Howden

Back in September 2020 it was announced that Howden, the international insurance broking group, had reached agreement to acquire A-Plan Group, one of the UK’s largest personal and commercial lines insurance brokers, in a bid to create a new UK broking powerhouse.

The new partnership brings together Howden’s leading specialty and reinsurance business and A-Plan Group’s best-in-class personal and commercial lines expertise which it delivers via its established brands. One of these established brands is A-Plan Insurance, which re-branded to Howden Insurance in October 2023.

Primo has now become another brand under A-Plan Holdings to merge into Howden Insurance.
