Howden Insurance Case Study

Howden Insurance, a values-led British insurance group with a global presence, has partnered with DB Signs Ltd for over 30 years. In 2023, Howden launched a full UK high street rebrand, selecting DB Signs to deliver signage across 110+ branches — covering design interpretation, prototyping, planning liaison, manufacture, and installation.

The Challenge

DB Signs was tasked with delivering a cohesive, high-impact signage rollout for Howden Insurance’s diverse UK retail estate. The challenge required balancing brand authenticity, planning compliance, and design fidelity — all while working at pace, to scale, and under strict confidentiality.
