Previously know as Aston Lark

As of 2 October 2023, Aston Lark has changed its business name to Howden.

Our presence in North Devon runs deep, with our devoted team consistently serving businesses of all types and sizes within the region. We take pride in our client-centric approach, and our specialists take the time to truly understand and address the unique needs of all our clients. We want to emphasise that our unwavering commitment to North Devon remains as strong as ever, and we eagerly anticipate continuing this journey as Howden.

Our history

In April 2022, Aston Lark became part of the Howden Group, with the aim of creating a standout full-service broker, unrivalled in its quality, scale and reach in the UK and Ireland.

Howden was founded by David Howden and two of his friends in London, in 1994. Since then, it has grown to become one of the UK’s largest independent insurance brokers, with offices all over the world.

One of the reasons Aston Lark and Howden are such a good fit is our shared value of care – care for our clients, the community, and our employees, empowering them to deliver great outcomes.

When we joined the Howden family, we recognised that this would involve changing our name, when the time was right, and now is that time.
