As the UK live auction market leaders Iconic Auctioneers pride themselves in professional personal service tailored to each client's requirements, therefore when it came to looking for a new insurance partner Howden Private Clients were a natural fit says Rob Hubbard Managing Director of Iconic Auctioneers. “Marcus and Angus share our vision of providing the best service possible and importantly share our passion for the classic motor industry.”

Rob continues “Owning a classic car or motorcycle is a source of great pride and enjoyment. Whether it’s a new auction purchase, it’s in storage or being enjoyed on the road, you need insurance. So, it is great that Howden share our ‘people first’ ethos and understand that classic insurance, like buying a car or motorcycle is not a one-size-fits-all solution.”

Howden recently acquired UK insurance giant A-Plan and are leading insurance brokers with teams dedicated to classic cars and classic motorcycles. They cover a vast array of classic and vintage models and offer insurance solutions for collectors and enthusiasts alike. An ideal solution for Iconic Auctioneers who specialise in premium collectors’ cars in the classic auction market. Last year their car departments sold over £36 million worth of cars and achieved a phenomenal run of auction world records, 18 in total, winning back the title of UK Live Auction Market Leader.

David Howden said “On behalf of the whole Howden team, we are delighted to be partnering with Iconic Auctioneers. They always sell cars with the ‘wow’ factor, and we can’t wait to support them and offer their clients our expertise, advice, and leading range of insurance products. As a client of Iconic Auctions, I know how well this partnership with our Howden classic car teams will work given our shared passion for industry leading customer service.”

Marcus Atkinson adds “we have known Rob for many years are enjoying getting to know the team at Iconic Auctioneers. All the classic car specialists at Howden are excited about building a strong and successful partnership as well as meeting old friends and new clients at their auctions in the UK.’

A representative from Howden will be at every Iconic Auctioneers Sale moving forward, available to chat through insurance options for both new auction purchases or whatever customers may already own or be looking to own. Iconic Auctioneers next sale is at Silverstone Festival on the 23rd-25th August where a fantastic selection of collectors’ and competition cars along with motorcycles, automobilia and watches will all go under the hammer. Entries are invited for this sale and will close on the 26th July.
