Aon plc (NYSE: AON), has announced three appointments to its specialist UK Insolvency and Restructuring insurance and risk team, based in Birmingham.
Compared to the same period in 2025, the team has recorded a 35 percent increase in both new appointments and revenue so far in 2026, representing its strongest year of growth to date.
The performance is particularly significant given overall insolvency activity across the wider market and reflects the team’s continued success in building long-standing relationships with insolvency practitioners and restructuring professionals across the UK.
To support this growth, Aon has welcomed Jin Tiwana, Neel Joshi and Adam Youd to the team, with at least one further appointment anticipated before the end of 2026 and additional recruitment planned for 2027.
Jin Tiwana joins as a Client Service Specialist, bringing 28 years’ experience in the insurance industry across both underwriting and broking, including over nine years specialising in insolvency, restructuring and recovery.
Jin said: “The opportunity to return to the insolvency sector and work alongside former colleagues who have continued to grow the business year on year was simply too good to pass up.
“I particularly enjoy the variety and complexity of insolvency risks. Having worked in the sector for many years, I understand the challenges our clients face and the importance of providing clear, practical advice and insurance solutions that meet their individual needs.”
Neel Joshi has moved to the Birmingham-based team as a Client Service Adviser from Aon’s business in Leicester. Having started his career at the Financial Ombudsman Service, Neel joined Aon attracted by the breadth of its insurance expertise and opportunities to develop his career within the business.
Neel said: “What I particularly relish about working in insolvency and restructuring is that every case is different. It’s a specialist area that brings new challenges and opportunities to learn, and I enjoy working closely with clients to understand their individual needs and providing practical, reliable solutions.”
Adam Youd has joined the team as a Client Service Adviser from Gallagher, where he spent three and a half years developing experience across claims, new business and account management. Having joined the insurance industry as a graduate in 2021, Adam was attracted to Aon by the opportunity to develop his career within a specialist team, working directly with clients across a diverse range of insolvency and restructuring cases.
Adam said: “The variety of work and the opportunity to build relationships directly with clients were key attractions for me. Every case brings different challenges, and I’m enjoying being able to apply my previous experience in a new environment where I can make a real contribution to both our clients and the wider team.”
Mark Sanderson, Managing Director, UK Insolvency and Restructuring, Aon, said:
“Our team has achieved five consecutive years of growth and we’re incredibly proud of that particularly as this year’s performance has been our strongest yet, despite a decline in insolvency activity across the wider market.
“Much of our success comes down to the strength of our client relationships, our commitment to making things as straightforward as possible for them and, of course, the talented team we have in place. It’s particularly rewarding to see the difference that our newer colleagues are already making, and we’re delighted to welcome Jin, Neel and Adam.
“When we first established the team, there were just five of us. We’re now working towards a team of around 20, with further recruitment planned next year. We’re also looking at opportunities to broaden our range of specialist products and services, putting us in a strong position to build on our success.”
