Carl Wooding joins from Everard

Aon has appointed Carl Wooding as UK marine client manager to support small and medium sized UK companies by improving their access to specialist hull, liability and related marine insurance in the local and London markets.

Working closely with the UK cargo team and Aon’s regional offices, Wooding will drive Aon’s non-cargo marine business using his sector expertise.

Wooding joins from Everard Insurance Brokers where he spent six years maintaining and growing a book of business focused on hull & machinery and protection & indemnity.

Gill Bewes, UK marine client director, said: “By expanding our specialist UK marine product expertise, Carl will be able to ensure our regional clients receive the same access to specialist cover and service as larger multinationals. Carl’s depth of knowledge in marine physical damage and liability will be an asset to the team."
