Aon Consulting Boosts Healthcare Benefits Division

Due to continuing profitable growth and client demand, Aon Consulting, a leading pension, benefits and HR consulting firm, announced today that it is expanding its healthcare benefits division and establishing a team in Farnborough.

The team will be led by Lisa Mulhern and is expected to grow by another four people by the end of 2007.

Farnborough has been chosen as an ideal location for the Healthcare team to provide a more local service to companies based in the South East. It will also enable the Healthcare team to maximise on the strengths of working closely alongside other benefits solutions colleagues currently based in Farnborough, especially the Risk Benefits team.

Alistair Connell, Managing Director of Benefits Solutions commented:

ìWe are excited about establishing a Healthcare team in Farnborough. As clients increasingly seek help to understand their employee health risks and costs and integrate their related services, they value Aon's ability to work across the core areas of health and risk whilst also developing innovative and joined up solutions. We believe there is considerable opportunity within the Farnborough client base and Aon's local commercial insurance operations for us to build our healthcare business by offering clients fully integrated benefits solutions. Lisa's focus will be to work with the local consultants to secure that opportunity and to build a local team.î

Todayís announcement follows other recent appointments made by Aon Consulting in London and Leeds to bolster its Healthcare Benefits business. In London, Anna Lopez was appointed as a Consultant and Charlotte Bray joined as an Occupational Health Consultant. Anna Dagless joined the Leeds team to provide Consultancy support.
