Howells
Industry leading share plan management, since 1991.
Howells was established in 1991 to provide share scheme administration solutions for listed companies with varying and complex needs. Thirty years on, we continue to focus on share plans, whilst having expanded to respond to other points of pressure in our clients’ business processes. Insider list management, the registering of conflicting interests, and financial reporting are just some of the areas where we can assist busy Reward, Finance, and Company Secretary departments.
Our secure systems and diligent team of experts have grown together to provide market leading services to many of the FTSE100, and newly minted IPOs alike. Howells works with many of the biggest brands in the UK, with some of our client relationships stretching back over 15 years.
Our business has continued to evolve and adapt over the years as our clients’ needs have changed. Howells continues to adapt to ensure that each of our clients has everything needed to ensure that one can handle complex and sensitive admin, swiftly and securely.

Flexible working at Howells
Howells is proud to be a flexible employer with a remote-first approach. However, you're welcome to use our dog friendly offices in Harrogate, Yorkshire, for collaborative work and whole team meetings.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we found that the benefits of a centralised working environment were outweighed by the opportunity for greater work-life balance, and empowering each of us with the sovereign responsibility to achieve our team goals how we think best. With that said, we will usually have 3-5 people in the office each day, because it is what suits them best!
We offer our employees awesome benefits including a work from home allowance, enhanced parental leave, pregnancy loss leave, teambuilding days, and a work from anywhere scheme.
We believe that the when we empower people with the tools, knowledge and guidance they need, they will exceed.
