LONDON (2 May 2019) – Aon plc (NYSE:AON), a leading global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, has appointed Dave Barratt to its UK Risk Settlement team.
Dave Barratt joins Aon after 13 years with JLT and HSBC Actuaries and Consultants, where he developed a number of bulk annuity services including a streamlined process for smaller transactions.
He has advised a wide range of trustees and sponsoring employers on settling liabilities with insurers, including being involved in over 150 successful transactions. These have included the first ‘whole of market’ medically underwritten deal, solutions for hybrid schemes, and buyout transactions with integrated Enhanced Transfer Value exercises. He has also provided training and support to several insurers while they prepared to launch into the bulk annuity market.
Martin Bird, senior partner and head of Risk Settlement at Aon, said:
“Dave Barratt joins us with an excellent background in the bulk annuity market, including some landmark transactions. He has advised a very wide range of trustees and sponsoring employers on settling liabilities with insurers – especially those in the sub-£100 million bracket.
“We believe there is much potential in this area of the market, with many schemes – and their members - which would benefit from this approach, but who need external expertise and guidance to help them through the process. Dave brings considerable experience of doing just that and I am sure many more schemes will now benefit from his knowledge.”
