Emap International has appointed Aon Hewitt to provide group risk benefits, private medical insurance (PMI) and dental cover, and consulting and broking services for its 880 UK employees.

The group risk provision will include life insurance, ill-health cover, group life insurance, group income protection, and critical illness cover.

Jason Stead, head of procurement at Emap International, said: “We have a close relationship with Aon’s risk solutions business which referred us to Aon Hewitt once the decision had been made to review our benefits arrangements.

“We considered a number of advisers which could provide us with a high-quality service and were impressed by Aon Hewitt's proven ability to save costs, and the commitment of the team dealing with our account. We look forward to developing a strong partnership with Aon Hewitt in the future."
