LONDON, Dec. 3, 2012 -- Aon plc (NYSE:AON), the leading global provider of risk management and human resource consulting and outsourcing, has been named Newsmaker of the Year at the Insurance Day London Market Awards 2012. The annual event, which took place on Thursday, November 29, recognises excellence within the insurance industry and is open to all associated organizations.
Aon won the award for having made "the most significant London insurance-related news story to have developed over the past 12 months", following the relocation of its global headquarters to London in 2012. The story was published in Insurance Day under the headline "London's position strengthened by Aon Corp's Move".
Attendees of the awards ceremony selected Aon as the eventual winner via live electronic voting at the event. Aon had previously been shortlisted in the category alongside four other firms.
Phil Clement, Aon's Global Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, said: "Receiving a London Market Award is a tremendous accolade for Aon, and we thank the attendees of the awards ceremony for nominating the firm as the winner in the newsmaker category. Insurance Day is a leading publication in the global insurance and reinsurance markets, and so it was very rewarding for us to receive such extensive and favourable coverage of Aon's headquarters move to London."
