Howden, the new name for Aston Lark
We are pleased to announce that Aston Lark is now part of Howden.
In April 2022, the Howden Group acquired the Aston Lark Europe Limited “Aston Lark” group of companies, creating an exciting business of considerable scale, reach, and influence, focused on great customer outcomes, service and care.
On 1 October 2023, Aston Lark along with existing Howden businesses, were brought together to form Howden UK & Ireland (Retail), united under the Howden brand.
