AON GUERNSEY<br />
CELEBRATE<br />
40 YEARS<br />
Industry leaders including the Chief Minister<br />
of Guernsey, Gavin St Pier joined Aon staff<br />
and business partners at the Old Government<br />
House Hotel to help Aon Guernsey celebrate<br />
40 years in business.<br />
Aon Guernsey is at the heart of<br />
an insurance sector that forms a<br />
strong pillar of Guernsey’s Financial<br />
Services Sector. The insurance<br />
sector contributes £187,000 per<br />
employee to Guernsey’s GDP<br />
which is 2.5 times the islands<br />
average £75,000 GDP per<br />
employee. ‘We have spent 40 years<br />
at the cutting edge of Guernsey’s<br />
Insurance industry; have 322<br />
entities under Aon Guernsey<br />
Management, and almost a 40%<br />
share of the Guernsey Insurance<br />
Management Market. Our success<br />
is built on our people, our values<br />
and giving our utmost for clients,<br />
colleagues and the community<br />
alike,’ said Paul Sykes, Managing<br />
Director of Aon Guernsey.<br />
Aon Guernsey has gone from<br />
strength to strength, culminating<br />
in winning Business of the Year<br />
at the annual Guernsey Awards<br />
for Achievement in February<br />
2017. Aon’s performance was<br />
recognised for innovation and<br />
growth, employing 28 new<br />
people over a two-year period.<br />
The award judges said, ‘it was<br />
inspirational, a fantastic role<br />
model for Guernsey and how we<br />
(Guernsey) can punch above our<br />
weight on the international stage.’<br />
‘Aon Guernsey’s success could<br />
not have happened without<br />
innovation and responsive<br />
regulators that paved the way not<br />
just for captive insurance but for<br />
insurance linked securities and<br />
commercial reinsurance to evolve<br />
in Guernsey,’ said Paul Sykes.<br />
Demonstrating Aon’s<br />
commitment to the island and to<br />
celebrate 40 years in business,<br />
Aon Guernsey proudly announced<br />
that they are now official principal<br />
sponsor of the Guernsey Ladies’<br />
Rugby Team. Aon plays a leading<br />
role in supporting women’s<br />
rugby worldwide through its<br />
sponsorship of the Irish and<br />
Australian women’s rugby teams<br />
and partnership with the Women’s<br />
Rugby World Cup 2017 in Ireland.<br />
‘We have witnessed how<br />
women’s rugby has evolved to<br />
become a truly global sport that<br />
embodies many of the values<br />
we live and breathe at Aon –<br />
leadership, teamwork, diversity<br />
and integrity,’ said Paul Sykes.<br />
Aon Guernsey plans to further<br />
help and support the growth<br />
of the insurance sector to<br />
ensure our industry continues<br />
to innovate and grow.<br />
Aon Insurance Managers<br />
Global Chief Operating Officer,<br />
John <strong>En</strong>glish commented,<br />
‘We are thankful to our clients,<br />
colleagues and business partners<br />
for supporting the Company in<br />
Guernsey over the years and look<br />
forward to working together for<br />
many more years to come.’<br />
AON’S GRADUATE<br />
DEVELOPMENT<br />
PROGRAMME<br />
Our philosophy is to employ<br />
people with the right skills and<br />
attitude to help our clients –<br />
giving them the support they<br />
need to develop and enable<br />
them to find opportunities<br />
that play to their strengths.<br />
From earthquakes and meteor<br />
strikes to cyber terrorism and<br />
widespread flooding, the risk of<br />
catastrophes on a global scale<br />
should never be underestimated.<br />

conventional insurance market<br />
isn’t able to provide the requisite<br />
cover for such occurrences?<br />
These are the types of challenges<br />
Aon Global Risk Consulting<br />
(AGRC) tackles on a regular<br />
basis, by providing a process<br />
to determine the strategy for<br />
achieving the optimal balance<br />
of risk retention vehicles.<br />
