We remain excited to work in partnership with Howden to see the many benefits this three-year partnership come to fruition.”
Carl Shuker, CEO, Howden UK&I commented: “Howden has rapidly grown in recent years, organically and in part due to a number of acquisitions. As the businesses come together, we needed a joined-up view of our client base in order to provide a consistent client experience. To do that, it required a single source of truth when it comes the data and information we have on our clients. FullCircl was the missing link that now ensures all clients are entered into Acturis with accurate, consistent information, enabling Howden to join up clients across our core pillars.”
Tony Goddard, Acturis CEO, concluded “As part of our ongoing investment in the development of the Acturis Platform we are continuously looking to identify business partners whose products and services can enhance the experience and value our customers get from Acturis. We believe that FullCircl fulfils this aim by bringing the insights brokers need, when it matters most to them, allowing them to trade more accurately and efficiently, and to win and retain more business.”
