“Andrew will work with the leadership of both Aon Benfield and Aon Risk Solutions to maximise the impact of teamwork across the firm, developing innovative and world class solutions for our facultative clients,” said Andersen.
Laing added: “I am excited to lead the Aon Benfield Fac division, and I look forward to working with colleagues on existing and new initiatives that draw upon the team’s market-leading skills and deliver an enhanced service to our clients.”
