LONDON, 2 April 2008 – Aon has appointed Harry Dawe-Lane to its ultra high net worth (UHNW) team, Aon Private Risk Management (APRM). He will help to protect clients’ wealth through promoting Aon’s risk audit service for family offices.

Aon works with international family offices through a global network and has specialisms ranging from yachts, property and fine art through to personal liabilities.

As business development executive for Aon Private Risk Management, he will be responsible for advising UHNW families and individuals on their risk management issues and specific insurance requirements, in addition to building business relationships within the ultra high net worth sector, including law firms and wealth management companies. Harry will focus on strengthening UK/European business from his London base.

Harry commented: “The wealthy are becoming wealthier, as shown in the latest Forbes list, and our risk audit will help assist them in better protecting their assets and liabilities. We seek to identify exposures that families may not have previously considered, such as liability stemming from non-exec directorships or exposure to kidnap & ransom, as well as looking at the more usual aspects like the fine art collection or global property portfolio. We’re bringing a unique approach to risk that will allow family offices and their advisers to have one point of contact for their entire insurance portfolio.”

Harry has worked with wealthy private clients for nearly 10 years. He joined Aon Artscope, the specialist art insurance brokerage of Aon, in 2002 to manage the insurance programmes of private collectors, Mayfair galleries and auction houses. Previously he spent two years with Christie’s Auctioneers in London as a valuer.

Charles HamiltonStubber, director of Aon Private Risk Management, added: “Harry is an experienced manager of a diverse portfolio of art related insurances, ranging from small private collectors to some of London’s most prestigious galleries, so he is familiar with the needs of UHNWs. He brings an invaluable insight into their evolving asset management issues, lifestyles and risks which in turn will drive the expansion of the business.”
