AON buys Insure.ie

Global insurance broker, AON, has bought Insure.ie, the online personal lines brokerage.

Insure.ie is a web business with an associated call centre in Dublin and more than 100,000 customers in Ireland across motor, home, travel and health insurance.

Richard Endersen, Managing Director of AON in Ireland said: "AON is delighted to have agreed this deal with one of the longest established insurance brokers in the country. The personal lines insurance market (motor, home, travel and health insurance) accounts for half of Ireland’s total insurance revenue."

AON now employs more than 600 people on the island of Ireland across its sites in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Limerick and Mullingar.

This recent investment in Insure.ie follows on from AON’s recent opening of its Global Centre of Innovation and Analytics based in Dublin, which supplies advanced research and development technology for the AON Group worldwide and its global acquisition of Hewitts recently.
