Howden started off as a small mortgage broker in Britain but has grown to a worldwide operation with 22,000 staff.  They’ve grown to the point where they now sponsor the forthcoming Lions rugby tour of Australia this summer.  Here in Ireland they are known as Finance Solutions and they also act as brokers for insurance, home loans and now Life insurance products. They are creating 100 new jobs in the capital.
