Aon Benfield Wins Industry Accolade
London
AOC

LONDON, DECEMBER 17, 2008 - Aon Benfield, the world’s premier reinsurance intermediary and capital adviser, has scooped its first industry award since the company’s launch two weeks ago.

Readers of Reinsurance magazine voted Aon Benfield Broker of the Year in its Readers’ Awards 2008 competition.

In a joint statement, Andrew Appel, chief executive officer of Aon Benfield, and Michael O'Halleran, executive chairman, said: “This recognition is a tribute to the 4000 plus colleagues of Aon Benfield whose focus on creating distinctive client value is top of mind each and every day. In this time of unprecedented stress in the global financial markets, we are even more focused on providing our clients with the very best advice, analytics and capital solutions to help them weather the storm and come out ahead.”

Aon Benfield was launched on December 1 following the merger of Aon Re Global and Benfield Group. Readers of Reinsurance magazine cited the company’s "accuracy” and "broad spread of offering” among their reasons for nominating Aon Benfield as Broker of the Year.

Anthony Gould, Reinsurance magazine editor-in-chief, said: “The Readers’ Awards have once again proved to be a great success, and we always await our readers’ comments with interest. Aon Benfield received many plaudits, who flagged up the company’s broad spread of offering among their reasons for naming it Broker of the Year.”
