Aon Risk Solutions, the risk management business of Aon Corporation announces the appointment of Jane Kielty as area director to head the Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield operations of Aon’s Corporate business.
Kielty has a proven track record as the Manchester area director where Aon has achieved six successive years of growth, and will expand her remit to cover the Leeds and Sheffield teams who have delivered another year of strong growth in 2011.
Kielty’s existing knowledge of Aon, her profile in the insurance market combined with her passion for clients make this appointment a strong move for Aon as it combines substantial forces right across its North East and North West operations. Aon’s Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield business employs more than 450 people. Kielty will report to Jim Herbert, CEO of Aon Risk Solutions’ UK retail business.
Commenting on her expanded role, Kielty said: “I’m really looking forward to working across this wider geography, but what excites me the most is the sense of enthusiasm and energy I can already see in the teams about the idea of working even more closely together across the North. We have strong management teams in each location and will continue to build on the success that they have already created.”
Herbert added: “I’m delighted that Jane will now be able to bring her passion for the business to a wider network. The Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds insurance markets are hugely important to Aon and, although we will continue to operate in both markets in exactly the same way as we always have, I know Jane will ensure that we continue to drive the very best deals and provide the highest levels of cover and service for our clients.”
