Aviva announces new capacity deal with Howden

Aviva has agreed a deal to provide capacity for Howden’s new rural land estate scheme.

The bespoke scheme is expected to go live in October and will become part of Howden’s farm and estate portfolio.

Once available, Aviva will offer property and liability covers for farming, land and estates and property owners.

All coverage will be offered through Howden’s rural division.

Dave Martin, commercial managing director and UK chief distribution officer at Aviva, said: “This agreement demonstrates our commitment to growing our MGA, DUA and schemes portfolio and we are delighted to work in partnership with Howden to find solutions to protect customers in challenging areas.”

Strengthened relationship

Howden’s farm and estates portfolio serves thousands of clients and offers a range of farm and estate insurance covers to suit farmers, landowners and estates.

Carl Shuker, Howden’s UK and Ireland chief executive, said: “The Aviva and Howden relationship continues to go from strength to strength, demonstrated by Aviva’s recent support of Howden in challenging sectors, where it believes in Howden’s expertise and growth ambitions in these sectors.”
