Integro Acquires UK’s Howard Global Insurance Services

International insurance broker and risk management firm Integro announced its acquisition of Howard Global Insurance Services Ltd., a Lloyd’s-registered specialty broker headquartered in London.

Financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed.

Howard Global was established in 2000, and has earned a strong reputation as the leading London Market broker in bloodstock insurance worldwide. It also specializes in personal accident coverage.

“We welcome Howard Global to the Integro family of companies,” said William Goldstein, Integro president. “David Howard and his superb team add expertise in the niche bloodstock area, enhancing Integro’s growing list of capabilities and reinforcing our reputation as a market leading specialist broker.”

The bulletin said CEO Howard “and his existing management team will continue to oversee the firm and will report to Integro UK/International operations leaders Toby Humphreys and John Sutton.”

Sutton described the acquisition as “significant;” adding that it not only complements “our existing international operations, but also in terms of providing our private clients with an even broader array of product offerings. We are delighted to welcome David and his exceptional clientele and colleagues to Integro.”

David Howard is equally pleased to be joining Integro. “We are confident that its extensive network will enable us to achieve our long term ambitions to maintain our position as the leading bloodstock broker, while we continue to expand our book of accident and health, life and other related products,” he said.
