Aon has expanded its north Queensland business with the acquisition of brokerage Mark Kelly Insurance and Financial Services.

“The deal is part of a strategic move that seeks to cement Aon as the pre-eminent north Queensland broker,” Aon says. “The combined businesses will deliver the regional expertise, scale and broking experience needed to meet the unique challenges clients face in north Queensland, particularly when it comes to severe weather risk.”

Aon finalised the acquisition last month.
