Aon
ABOUT US
Aon is an organisation of incredible size and scope. Our business is professional services; we are the world’s #1 insurance broker, the #1 provider of reinsurance and the #1 provider of human capital consulting. Following our merger with Hewitt in 2010, Aon now employs 59,000 people worldwide who use their specialist knowledge and industry expertise to help our clients grow. Across the UK, we have 6,500 employees in 30 offices.
We recruit graduates into five Streams. Depending on the area you join, you’ll be using your numeracy, analytical abilities and strong communication skills to help clients address key questions that affect the running and growth of their businesses. How can risk be predicted and spread to minimise the impact of natural or man-made catastrophes? How can financial markets effectively manage their risks? Where can employers invest to improve the value of their pension schemes? Will a company be able to meet its pension obligations decades down the line? How can it provide a benefits programme that rewards employees and represents a shrewd business investment for the employer? Aon’s business is to provide the answers.
