We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Aon UK Limited (Aon), a global leader in insurance broking, to become part of the Aon family.
First, it’s business as usual. The Griffiths & Armour name is synonymous with quality, innovation, and trust. It will be preserved as part of the agreement and it ensures continuity for our clients, industry partners and all our team.
Carl Evans, CEO of Professional Risks for Griffiths & Armour, commented; “Becoming part of the Aon family is the result of a meticulous search for a trusted partner with whom we can work, to ensure the future success of Griffiths & Armour and enable us to enhance, grow and expand our unique client proposition. This proposition is founded on a culture that has been created and refined over the last 90 years, of which we are immensely proud”.
“As we continue to go further, faster to help our clients navigate growing uncertainty and volatility, we are looking forward to welcoming Griffiths & Armour to Aon,” said Greg Case, CEO of Aon. “Our complementary capabilities and cultures will create unmatched client and colleague experiences across the UK and Ireland.”
This decision to retain the Griffiths & Armour name and expand its application reflects Aon’s respect for our legacy and commitment to upholding the standards and reputation we have spent many years establishing.
Matt Donnelly, CEO of General Insurance for Griffiths & Armour, added; “We have long-regarded Aon for its professionalism and client service excellence. In them we have found a partner who will not only help deliver continued growth, but also preserve and embrace the culture that we and our client community hold dear. We very much look forward to this next chapter.”
The Griffiths & Armour team are excited to work with Aon and support their mantra that clients will be better informed, better advised, and able to make better decisions. Their words – our philosophy.
