Howden Scotland Acquires SKB Independent Insurance Brokers
Howden Scotland, a significant part of the renowned global insurance intermediary group Howden, has successfully completed the acquisition of the business portfolio of Edinburgh-based SKB Independent Insurance Brokers Limited.
SKB, under the leadership of CEO Satvinder Breeze, has been offering comprehensive insurance solutions to businesses throughout Scotland and the broader UK.
Following this acquisition, SKB has been rebranded as Howden and will seamlessly integrate into the Howden Scotland team situated in Edinburgh. This move enhances Howden’s expanding network, which already includes over 200 high street branches and office locations across the UK and Ireland.
Commenting on this development, Satvinder Breeze expressed, “I take immense pride in having established SKB and in the accomplishments of my team. Our journey over the past 13 years has been remarkable, providing us with invaluable lessons. We revived the traditional approach to business, focusing on cultivating long-term personal relationships with our esteemed clients.
It is only natural that the next phase for SKB involves enhancing our client relationships by aligning with Howden. Howden’s commitment to client care and exceptional service resonates with our core values. Their extensive group buying power and global reach make this an exciting chapter for us. I eagerly anticipate what lies ahead.”
Kenny Hogg, the CEO of Howden Scotland, shared his enthusiasm, “I am thrilled to welcome SKB into the Howden Scotland family and our Edinburgh team. From my first meeting with Satvinder, it was evident that SKB and Howden shared an identical ethos centered around customer service. I am confident that SKB’s inclusion will significantly bolster our Howden Scotland operations, enabling us to grow and prosper in the years to come.”
