Blooming good fun at Howden Worcester this spring
Blooming good fun at Howden Worcester this spring
18th March 2025, Worcester โ Local insurance broker Howden Worcester is hosting a series of events and giveaways to celebrate the arrival of spring, which are set to be blooming good fun!
The team are planning a coffee morning session on the 14th April as well as Easter egg donation stations and giveaways in the branch. These are sessions where you can join us in branch for a free coffee.
James Parker, Branch Manager at Howden Worcester said: โItโs felt like a long winter! So weโre keen to spread some positivityโwhether itโs through a friendly coffee morning, a fun pet event, our fantastic wildflower seed giveaway, or simply making sure every child gets a chocolate egg this Easter. Itโs our way of giving back and celebrating the brighterย days ahead.โ
Your local Howden branch is giving away 100 seed packets for free, while stocks last. The team hopes not just to help wildlife thrive, but also encourage a sense of renewal, and a fun nod to โblooming good customer service!โ
James continued: โThese seeds are a small way to encourage people to reconnect with nature. Whether youโre a gardening guru already or still a green thumb in training, pop into branch to pick up your pack!โ
One of the UKโs largest independent brokers, Howden was founded 30 years ago by three young brokers and a dog named Flight. David Howden began winning their first clients with a focus on exceptional customer service. That focus remains true to this day, as we continue to serve local people, locally, including here in Worcester.
Howden uses insurance as a powerful force for good, taking a no-limits approach to everything it does. Because when Howden says it cares about clients, the team means it on every level; from helping find cover for the most important things in life, to supporting the communities it serves and the causes that matter.
To learn more about Howden Insurance, simply give Howden Insurance Worcester a ring or visit in person and speak with a member of the team.
