Howden, a part of Hyperion, a global insurance group, completed the acquisition of A-Plan Group, an insurance intermediary, from private equity firm HG Capital. “This is an incredibly important partnership for Howden and creates a significant opportunity to deliver a better and broader offering to both groups’ clients. Like us, A-Plan Group is a business built on a very strong culture of entrepreneurship with employee ownership at its heart and a relentless client focus. These values have ensured that over a period of more than 50 years it has been able to retain and win new clients by delivering to them the personal service they want whilst embracing the opportunities digital distribution, data and technology provide," David Howden, Hyperion CEO.
