BRISTOL, 26 January 2007 – Aon, the UK’s leading insurance broker, risk management and pensions consultant, is merging its two Bristol offices today to bring together 160 employees in its existing location in Marsh Street. The move is part of plans to strengthen the Bristol team and will deliver a more focused service for clients in the south west and Wales.

Aon’s insurance and risk management teams, which specialise in corporate, professional and high net worth clients, will be moving from their Fairfax Street office to join their pensions and benefits colleagues in Aon Consulting.  The existing and additional office space in Marsh Street has undergone a major refurbishment in time for the unification of the team.

Richard Cox (pictured right), client relationship director of Aon Consulting, has found Marsh Street an ideal location since Aon located there in 1988. Mr Cox said: “Bristol has witnessed a renaissance over the last 10 years that has benefitted the community and businesses alike, through a £10 billion regeneration programme.

“We’re fully committed to providing the highest quality of services to clients in all sectors of this vibrant city. By taking advantage of the synergies between our company’s offerings we can increase our understanding of our clients’ needs and deliver an even better service. We will also focus on opportunities within the business to drive our growth.”

Stuart Hutchings (pictured left), client management director for Aon Limited, said: “We’re really looking forward to the move and enhancing the face to face communications with our colleagues across our business.  Most importantly, we will continue to offer clients a personal service and work closely with local insurers, while also having direct access to Lloyd's and the London market.”

Mr Hutchings continued: “As Bristol is the gateway to the south west and easily accessible to Wales, keeping this central location, with its excellent transport links, means we can service clients effectively.  At the same time, we can invest in talent by providing an accessible office for our employees, just one block away from the Waterfront and close to city centre amenities, in a city that is a desirable place to both live and work.”
