Aon has announced the appointment of Rob Kemp (pictured above) as head of Commercial Risk Solutions for the UK, effective October 1, pending regulatory approval.
He joined Aon four years ago and currently leads the EMEA Central Broking team. In his new role, Kemp will focus on enhancing Aon’s Risk Capital capabilities for clients across the UK.
Kemp will report to Jane Kielty, UK CEO at Aon, and Luca Tassarotti, head of Commercial Risk Solutions for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) at Aon.
Kielty commented on the appointment, stating that Kemp’s extensive experience in insurance and broking, combined with his leadership skills, positions him well to lead Commercial Risk in the UK.
She noted that Kemp’s leadership comes at an important time as the team aims to deliver optimal results for clients.
Kemp also expressed his enthusiasm for the new role, saying he is proud to lead Aon’s Commercial Risk Solutions in the UK. He looks forward to collaborating with Kielty, Tassarotti, and the UK Commercial Risk Solutions team to develop and implement new strategies to help clients navigate increasingly complex business challenges.
Back in July, Aon announced its interim earnings for the second quarter of 2024 – a period of “excellent” financial results, according to chief executive Greg Case.
Of the quarterly revenue, US$2.02 billion came from commercial risk solutions; US$635 million, reinsurance solutions; US$662 million, health solutions; and US$463 million from wealth solutions.
Lifting the lid on the numbers, Aon noted: “Total revenue increased US$583 million, or 18%, to US$3.8 billion, compared to the prior year period, reflecting acquired revenues from NFP and organic revenue growth of 6%, driven by net new business generation and ongoing strong retention, partially offset by a 1% unfavourable impact from foreign currency translation.”
