Subject:

Aon to move Corporate Headquarters to London

Date:

January 13, 2012

 

Colleagues,

 

You will have read today’s news from Greg that Aon Corporation will be moving its headquarters from Chicago to London, and that Aon’s incorporation will move from Delaware to the UK.  This news is an incredible endorsement of the UK/London market, and we hope that you will share in our excitement.

 

As Greg said, this move will enable the firm to strengthen its global business — having London central to operations confers the very best access to our clients and markets in the US, Europe and Asia. It will also further align Aon’s resources and drive the firm’s long-term growth.   It’s expected that around 20 of our most senior leaders who are currently based in the US will relocate to London post the closure of the transaction, which is expected to be at the end of the second quarter , and it will also mean that our senior executives will be spending even more time in the UK.

 

For clients, nothing will change — they will continue to receive the same high level of service and commitment from Aon as they have always done.   From a regulatory perspective, the UK regulated broking entity remains Aon Limited, as today’s announcement relates only to the movement of Aon Corporation’s holding company to the UK.

 

We expect today’s news to be positively viewed by the country as a whole as it’s good news for the Financial Services sector.  As such, there may be interest from the press and external commentators - please refer all press enquiries to Katherine Conway.

 

However, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to email me.

 

Best,

Robert
