Passionate about driving opportunities in his home country, Yandle shared his excitement about the role:
“As a proud Welshman, the opportunity to join Howden and drive corporate and commercial growth within Wales was one I could not turn down.
“After spending time with Gary Stevens and the senior leaders at Howden, and hearing the visions and challenges ahead, I knew I had to jump at the chance to work in this environment and towards their strategic objectives.
“Howden’s unique employee ownership model really makes us stand out and allows us to constantly put our clients at the heart of everything that we do.
In just my first few weeks, I’ve already seen the entrepreneurial spirit and commitment that make this an exceptional place to work.”
Gary Stevens, Regional Managing Director at Howden, praised Yandle’s appointment:
“Stephen represents yet another fantastic addition to our team. His skills, expertise, and enthusiasm align perfectly with Howden’s core values, and
we are confident he will make a significant impact on our growth and success in Wales.”
This leadership appointment complements Howden’s ongoing investment in Wales, including the acquisition of Cardiff-based ActiveQuote in 2024, which cemented its position as a leader in the UK health insurance market.
