Aon has appointed Colin Bryan as the new chairman of its UK reinsurance business.

The appointment of the former chairman of its non-marine division forms part of a wider restructuring of the reinsurance arm.

From January, Aon's traditional structure will be replaced with units dedicated to delivering services along specialty and geographic lines.

The new areas will be led by Charlie Cantlay and David Forcey respectively.

Dennis Mahoney, chairman and CEO of Aon said: "The changes we are announcing to our structure underline our ongoing commitment to deliver world class reinsurance broking and consultancy services to our clients.

"Hardening rates, tightening terms and conditions and restrictions in cover means our clients are facing tough new challenges.

"I have every confidence that Colin Bryan will excel as he continues to develop and enhance Aon's market leading reputation."
