Contract will include racing driver and pit crew cover

Aon Risk Solutions has won the contract to provide cover for the McLaren Group's Formula 1 team, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, and its production car company, McLaren Automotive.

The contract will include placing insurance for racing drivers, pit crew, transport logistics, property and casualty. Aon won the contract on tender from Willis.

The account is being handled by Aon’s specialist corporate team in Redhill, supported by Aon’s London broking centre.

Aon specialist corporate team area director Jon Cooper said: “We look forward to working with the McLaren Group for many years to come and being a part, if only in a small way, in its continued success.”

McLaren Group chief financial officer Andy Myers said: “There’s a natural ‘fit’ between the McLaren Group and Aon Risk Solutions: both organisations are ambitious, innovative, and above all committed to achieving excellence in everything we do."
