Broker makes changes in bid to unlock the mid-to-large corporate sector

Aon has announced a number of key appointments to its Commercial insurance operation, a part of the Aon Corporate division.

The changes follow the recent appointment of Robert Brown as CEO of Aon Corporate.

Norman Andrews has been appointed regional director for the North Region, which includes offices in Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Based in Glasgow, Norman has been with Aon for 21 years.

David Roberts has been appointed regional director for the South region, which includes operations in Southampton, Reading, Redhill, London, Chelmsford, Broxbourne and Bristol.

Roberts was previously head of client management for the London Large Corporate team and has held senior management roles at Aon for more than 15 years.

The CEO of Aon Corporate, Robert Brown, will look after the Central region (Manchester, Sheffield, Leicester and Birmingham) until an appointment is made.

In addition, Phil Hamilton has been appointed UK operations director. He was previously a regional client service director for the North and Scotland regions.

Robert Brown, CEO of Aon Corporate, said: "Our Commercial Insurance division is the flagship of our UK retail operations. These changes are about making it easier to put in outstanding efforts on behalf of our clients and unlocking the enormous potential that this business has in the mid-large corporate sector.

“We have a clearly stated vision in Commercial Insurance – to be the best local, regional and national broker in the UK. Since taking on this role last month, I have met more than half of the 800-strong team and I know there is an enormous amount of passion, commitment and ability to achieve that vision. "
