Aon is re-establishing its competitive force in the yacht market under its new director, Rupert Beckett.
Beckett will be responsible for strengthening Aon's yacht team within the marine division to challenge key players in the market through a new business strategy.
Beckett has over 16 years of broking and underwriting experience in the London hull market and has specialised in yacht insurance for the last five years.
He was previously employed by broker Cameron, Richard and Smith to set up its CRS yacht account.
Beckett said: "Broking in the yacht market is not just about hull. Success in this sector is down to having expertise in all elements including crew and guest welfare, liability and war coverage.
"Historically, the sector has been under-manned with specialist yacht insurance brokers and, together with the continuing growth of the yacht population, gives great potential for the future," he added.
