I am delighted to advise that on May 1st the broking activity of PYV Limited (including PYV Legal) transferred to Howden Insurance Brokers Limited. This included the move of the insurance broking team and claims team to Howden.

PYV Limited has not been purchased by Howden and is an independent company.

For our current clients this will be a seamless transfer and your account handler will usually remain the same, as our priority is ongoing client service. Our existing contact details remain effective for a short period, or you can contact your existing account handler or broking contact on 020 7648 7213 with any questions. For new clients I am confident that the benefits of the move will mean our services are of greater value than ever before.

Howden are a leading Lloyd's of London broker, and a part of the international insurance and reinsurance group, Hyperion. Our clients will have continuity of service with the added benefits associated with an international insurance and reinsurance group, including extended access to the London insurance market and the resources and expertise of a larger company.

You can read more about Howden here, and your existing contacts are on hand to answer any questions you may have. Please also use the navigation tabs to the left see more on the services we offer.

I have joined Howden as part of the transfer, and would like to welcome you to our new home.

Yours Sincerely,

Neil Pointon
Director, Howden Retail Division, UK
(Formerly CEO, PYV Limited)
