’We hold ourselves to a high standard of doing business and will not be silent when we feel others have acted unfairly and unlawfully towards us and our employees,’ PIB Group says 

PIB Group has launched legal proceedings against Howden after losing several employees earlier this month.

PIB Group told Insurance Times that a number of staff decided to leave its MGA Acquinex on 10 January 2025 after being approached by Dual, the underwriting division of Howden.

A lawsuit has now been filed against Howden “and others” in the High Court, PIB Group said.

PIB Group added: “We hold ourselves to a high standard of doing business and will not be silent when we feel others have acted unfairly and unlawfully towards us and our employees.

“We are a people-first business and our priority continues to be ensuring that we provide the best quality service for our clients and brokers.”

The case

According to City AM, the claim is listed as an employment case, filed to the King’s Bench.

“The documents containing the information of the claim have yet to be supplied,” the publication added.

Howden declined to comment when approached by Insurance Times.
