Broker to place cover and advise on risk

Birmingham International Airport (BHX) has appointed Aon to manage its insurance programme and provide strategic advice on risk matters.

The Birmingham-based insurance broker will be responsible for placing cover for the airport’s principal risks.

The team will deliver broking and servicing expertise coupled with technical knowledge in a broad range of areas.

Mark Hattersley, acting finance director from BHX, said: “The Aon team came across as highly confident, working well together as a team. With a strong focus on partnership during the review process, we felt that they demonstrated a fresh and vibrant approach which, together with their status as a leading broker, identified them as the broker best positioned to maximise placement of the Airport Company’s insurance portfolio.”

Lisa Bartlett, branch director at Aon in Birmingham, added: “BHX is the UK’s fifth largest passenger airport and is second only to Heathrow for business traffic.

"It is a truly fascinating local business, which allows us to demonstrate our industry credentials. We worked really hard to secure the appointment and they are now a valuable addition to our client portfolio.”
