Self Explanatory Systems
First Group PLC
We use Howells for our insider list management. We find the system self-explanatory but whenever we need assistance, often at short notice, we always get a prompt and help response.

Excellent Support
Geraldine, Compliance Director, CBRE PLC
We have used Howells insider list management solution since 2018 and find it a great help in our Compliance Department due to the automation and reporting. We have always found Howells to be supportive when we have queries, and listen to us when we have ideas to develop their system in line with our requirements.

Consistent Support
Ruth, Company Secretary, Shaftesbury Capital
Howells have been looking after us for over 6 years now and their support is invaluable for the Company Secretariat. We use their solutions for our Share Plan Admin as well as our insider population and have total control of our data with the reassurance that expert help is on hand if we need it.

Straight To The Point
CoSec Team, Severn Trent
Insiderhub is doing what it says on the tin. It is brilliant, just does the job. Love the traffic light system for recording insiders. It’s very smooth. Support from the team at Howells is always good as well. Everyone is excellent.

Rapid Support
Angela, Senior Assistant Company Secretary, Intertek PLC
They are very quick to respond to all our requests and have a very “can do” approach to anything we ask and are happy to do any developments needed to meet what we need. They are proactive in their approach. They have a very knowledgeable, experienced and approachable team. The calm reassurance I receive whenever I contact Howells is greatly appreciated.

Life Long Partnership
Eunice, Babcock International Group plc
We have worked with Howells over some 10 years. We have a lot of different pieces to put together for our Executive Share Plan Admin and Howells make it seamless. But it’s their willingness and helpfulness that I really appreciate; it really goes a long way.
