Royal Accolade for the Hyperion Insurance Group
Winner of a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade 2007

The Hyperion Insurance Group, one of the fastest growing insurance groups in the world, has been awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade. The Award recognises the outstanding achievements of Hyperion’s international trade activities over the past three years and the contribution these activities have made in that period to the Group’s consistent growth and commercial success. During the past three years, Hyperion’s overseas earnings have increased by more than £8 million.

David Howden,CEO of the Group, comments:"To have won a Queen's Award for Enterprise is a prestigious corporate achievement, and Hyperion is proud and honoured to have joined the elite band of companies recognised for their ability to succeed. Nine years ago we decided to divide the Group into two arms - broking & underwriting. It is this structure that has helped us to grow faster than the competition and is particularly relevant to this award as it has allowed us to expand internationally by being able to select how we enter the market." "This Award recognises the spirit of vitality and entrepreneurialism of our people not only in the UK but throughout our international operations. It demonstrates just how far we have come in the past twelve years - and how far we can go in the future".
