Howden, an insurance broker, completed the acquisition of Sarton & Associés, an insurance agency. Financial terms were not disclosed. “I joined Howden because I was excited by its values and its empowered culture and knew it was a place where I could build a business and a team focussing on clients, expertise and added value. With Sarton choosing to join us, our adventure now begins its second chapter. This deal marks Howden Belgium’s first acquisition and reinforces our strategy to invest in expertise and develop specialist capabilities that deliver the best service to our clients. Paul has built an incredibly strong and hugely well-respected business in Brussels and the southern French speaking part of the country, and this deal aligns two highly complementary companies with people and clients at its core," Herman Kerremans, Howden CEO.
