“I am extremely pleased to report our FY20 results, the strongest year-on-year growth results for the group in seven years,” said AUB Group chief executive and managing director Michael Emmett, who described 2020 as a year of significant change for the business.
“Despite a challenging external market environment with significant headwinds for our clients and insurance partners, AUB Group’s portfolio has proven to be resilient and defensive, delivering a strong result while maintaining a consistent focus on our FY20 execution priorities that enhance our underlying growth drivers.”
