With its distinctively ‘squished’ logo and “more than 100 insurance products available, at over 100 branches across the country” Howden says that “our friendly branch teams are dedicated to finding you the right policy at the right price. From home insurance to horsebox, commercial cover to kit cars…” Horsebox? Ah, yes, Howden offer Equine Insurance so does that explain why they supported/sponsored a Countryside Alliance Point-to-Point (Point-to-Points are typically hunt fundraisers, organised by hunts and mainly open to members of hunts) at Blandford Forum’s Bradbury Rings course in February 2025? There is a far simpler explanation. In September 2020, Howden announced that it had reached agreement to acquire A-Plan Group, and A-Plan is the insurance group which has long provided insurance services to Countryside Alliance members (the Countryside Alliance was of course formed to fight for repeal of the Hunting Act). It could so easily have been the A Plan logo printed on that advert then, but clearly Howden is carrying on where only A-Plan had previously dared to go…
