Aon has entered into a four-year partnership with Rowing Australia that will see the global re/insurance brokerage become a major sponsor of the Australian Rowing Team and Rowing Australia.
The deal appoints Aon as the exclusive risk and insurance partner of the national body and gives it naming rights to the rowing’s marquee annual event, the Sydney International Regatta. The partnership also provides Aon a number of engagement and activation rights to connect with the broader rowing community throughout the year.
Lambros Lambrou, Aon Risk Solutions Australia CEO, said the partnership not only allows the company to help the wider rowing community in Australia reach its full potential, it also allows them to make a social impact at a grassroots level.
