Martyn Denney, head of innovation and investments at Aon, speaks on his firm’s entry to the Excellence in Technology – Broker category

1. Why did you put yourselves forward for the Excellence in Technology – Broker category?

To highlight the benefits and the importance of using data to identify and quantify risk, especially in the increasingly volatile world we live and trade in today. We have invested in our Risk Analyzer Suite to provide companies with insight and clarity to help manage this uncertainty and to demonstrate the importance of analytics in their risk management decisions.

By bridging the gap between risk management and strategic decision-making, we deliver tangible improvements in operational efficiency, client experience and business results. We believe our suite is setting new standards for tech excellence in the UK insurance market.

2. What do you think makes your entry stand out and why should you win the award?

We know there is a protection gap in many areas and clients are demanding better insight for the dynamic risks they are facing.

Our Risk Analyzer Suite provides clients with unparalleled access to risk insight at no further cost, from weather-related property risk through to cyber, D&O and workforce risk.

The suite transforms how clients understand, manage and communicate risk – moving the conversation from cost to value. By enabling fact-based, transparent decisions and improved outcomes, we are helping clients view insurance as a strategic asset rather than an expense.

3. What would winning this award mean to you and your firm?

Winning would validate our commitment to delivering transformative value to clients through technology and innovation. It would celebrate the outstanding teamwork and effort of our global team, including brokers, data scientists, catastrophe model experts and senior leadership, who brought the Risk Analyzer Suite to life.

Our ongoing investment is not only adding new features to the current suite but expanding into new business lines. Most importantly, it would reinforce our drive to keep innovating, ensuring the insurance industry remains ever more relevant and valuable to our clients now and into the future.
