Howden wins best cyber insurance and broker awards

February is proving an exciting month for Howden and our Cyber team as we pick up top cyber insurance awards around the globe.

Intelligent Insurer Cyber Insurance Awards Europe

On 4 February, hundreds of the sector's top insurance professionals gathered in London, where Howden won the Cyber Broker of the Year award for the second year running, and our very own Luke Foord-Kelcey was crowned the 2026 Cyber Insurance Legend. 

We also came highly commended for Cyber Partnership of the Year and Cyber Re/insurance Product of the Year.

The judging panel commented on our win, "Howden delivers an innovative, accessible and globally scaled cyber proposition, using platforms like Cyber+, to simplify and democratise cyber insurance for SMEs through to major multinationals.

"Their deep technical expertise, rapid response to emerging threats and strong alignment between cyber maturity and insurance strategy position them as a highly agile, influential and client-centric market leader. Exceptional growth, standout thought leadership and a proven track record of creating tailored solutions across regions."

The following day, in Dubai, Howden won Cyber Insurance Company of the Year at Intelligent Insurer's MENAII Awards. We also came highly commended for Reinsurance Broker of the Year and were finalist for the Broker of the Year, and our own Mirka Strano and Emily Almberg, UAE Sales Leader were finalists for the Women in Insurance MENA category.

Richard Mockett, CEO, MEA, commented, "I'm extremely proud of our Cyber team and what they've accomplished over the last year. This award recognises how Howden continues to differentiate itself in the region by developing bespoke, tailor-made solutions that directly address real gaps in the market."
