Deal extends the professional relationship between the two listed companies.
Under the new partnership, Aon will become the first ever partner of the Club’s training facility at Carrington.
Manchester United and Aon designed a new extension at the facility to showcase how Aon “Empowers Results” for its clients and to provide the Club with greater access to Aon’s leading risk and human resource solutions. The new phase aims to help Manchester United drive greater business performance.
United players and coaching staff will also wear Aon-branded training kits at all friendly and competitive domestic fixtures, as well as during training sessions.
Aon, which has its global headquarters in London, will also be the Presenting Partner of all Manchester United pre-season tours for the next eight years, including Tour 2013 presented by Aon in Asia Pacific.
Commenting on the partnership, Manchester United Commercial Director Richard Arnold said he was “delighted that this cements our relationship with Aon for a further eight years. They are a great partner and I am very excited about the possibilities for sustainable advantage this provides the Club as we build our global presence”.
“This announcement is the next step in the evolution of our partnership with Manchester United” argues Phil Clement, Aon’s Global Chief Marketing and Communications Officer . “Together, Aon and Manchester United have been working on two critical issues for a growing global business – managing risk and highly performing teams.
“The first phase of our relationship brought Aon an explosion in brand awareness. This phase of our partnership is a more holistic approach where we can use our expertise and create a global dialogue and knowledge share around the fields of talent, healthcare, risk, retirement, and data and analytics to help deliver great performance and great results.
“As a business our ambition is to empower economic and human possibility and our partnership with Manchester United is the ideal way to do this”.
