It is with great sadness the directors of H.W.Wood Ltd advise that Hugh W. Wood, Chairman and founder of HW International, passed away peacefully on April 26th, 2019.
Hugh Wood founded the HW International Group and grew the insurance brokerage business to having offices in 10 countries. He was also an accomplished and world-renowned Philatelist.
The business and stamps were his passion. Those who worked or interacted with him will know what a brilliant mind and strong character he was.
Long term arrangements have been put in place so that the business will continue as an independent brokerage firm.
The funeral was held privately on May 1st, 2019. Celebrations of Hugh Wood’s life will be held in New York and in London and those dates will be announced shortly.
