Commenting on the numbers, chief executive and managing director Michael Emmett said: “Financial Year 2024 was a milestone year for AUB Group. The first full year of Tysers ownership, bolstered by other international investments, exceptional growth in our managing agencies division, and continued strong performance in Australia and New Zealand all contributed to outstanding results for our shareholders.
“This success was further highlighted by our recognition by AM Best as one of the top 20 leading insurance broking groups in the world.
“In the past few months, we have rapidly expanded our scale and presence as a retail broker in the UK so that we can leverage our wholesale capabilities and build on our successful retail experiences in Australia and New Zealand. With our talented team and diverse portfolio of businesses, we are well-positioned to capitalise on the many opportunities that lie ahead and are truly excited about what the future holds for AUB Group.”
“It has been a great privilege to have worked with the board and high-quality executives over 10 years at AUB,” Clarke stated. “By every measure, the company has transformed over that period, with compound annual growth of 17% in underlying net profit after tax and 10.1% in EPS (earnings per share) over that period.
“I am deeply grateful for the support and collaboration of my fellow board members, our shareholders, the management team, and all of AUB’s partners and teams. I leave with confidence that AUB is in excellent hands, well-positioned for continued success.
“I am also delighted to have an individual of Peter’s calibre succeed me as chair. Peter’s extensive experience, expertise, and deep knowledge of the insurance and broking industry place him in an excellent position to succeed me and to guide AUB Group towards its future aspirations.”
