Howden launches PI solution for small surveying firms

Howden Insurance Brokers has launched a new professional indemnity solution for Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) regulated firms, called RiskSurv.

The new product targets smaller firms and sole traders with a fee income of under £750,000.

It is underwritten by Zurich Insurance and Barbican Syndicate 1955.

Emma Vigus, who leads the surveyors’ team at Howden, said: “We recognise that achieving a competitive professional indemnity premium is critical during challenging economic conditions and RiskSurv will always aim to deliver that; however, we also want to ensure that small surveying firms are getting access to advice from sector experts when they need it.

"We believe that in the past smaller firms have not necessarily received the focus they need from brokers and insurers, and we aim, with the support of RiskSurv, to provide that focus.”

Firms using RiskSurv will also have access to the Howden Legal Panel, which provides free advice on insurance related legal matters.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
