London (Nov. 8, 2013) – At the November 7th BritishAmerican Business Annual Awards dinner held in New York City, Steve McGill, Group President of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), received the BritishAmerican Business Innovation Award for 2013 before an audience of more than 500 senior business and government executives from both sides of the Atlantic.

Each year, BritishAmerican Business presents prestigious Transatlantic Business Awards to the leaders of two multinational companies for their leadership in transatlantic business. It also presents Special Awards to other distinguished business leaders for their achievements in particular fields.

McGill said, “It is a particular pleasure for me to accept BritishAmerican Business’s Innovation Award for 2013 as BritishAmerican Business has established an exceptional track record of customer-focused innovation in the development and delivery of its services to its members. They do extremely important work to promote a positive business environment between the U.S. and the UK, and Aon is proud to support such efforts.”

“On behalf of Steve’s 65,000 global Aon colleagues I congratulate him on receiving this award,” said Greg Case, President and CEO of Aon plc. “As the magnitude, complexity and speed of risk increases, clients demand new and creative ways to help them achieve sustainable business growth, continuity and profitability. Steve is a great innovator, and is leading our global risk solutions team to develop new and innovative risk management solutions to empower results for our clients.

“Aon’s track record on innovation is strong,” added Case. “We will constantly invest in innovation for clients, and the Aon Center for Innovation and Analytics in Dublin, Ireland is the industry’s only entity entirely dedicated to the development of solutions for the world’s most complex risks.
