24 April, 2007 will be a day of celebration for Aon offices around the world, as the company celebrates two decades of business.
Pat Ryan, Aon founder and executive chairman, commented: "It has been thrilling to see the original strategy -- that of being an advisor to the client with experts who know all about an industry -- carried forward globally."
Peter Harmer, named chief executive officer of Aon and country manager of Aon UK, earlier this year, said: "Our clients are facing bigger and more complex risk issues. The insurance sector has to change the way it views and deals with clients, from being a product-centric to client-centric. It is a major cultural shift and requires us to really understand our clients' business and the risks they face. Rather than simply acting as product resellers, we need to create innovative needs-driven solutions that will enhance our relationship with them."
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
