Acrisure London Wholesale (ALW) has launched a new aviation division, appointing Jonny Rowling as senior vice president and head of aviation as it expands its specialty capabilities.

The move follows the recent launch of its construction division and forms part of a broader build-out of its London wholesale platform.

Rowling (pictured) joined on 16 March and reports to Tom Quy, managing director of Acrisure London Wholesale.

In the role, he will be responsible for building and scaling the aviation practice, driving growth across key markets and enhancing client offering.

He joins from Marsh, where he served as co-head of general aviation and placement leader, and previously spent seven years at Lockton.

Rowling said the opportunity comes at a key stage in the platform’s development.

“I’m excited to join ALW at such a pivotal stage in its growth.”

“The opportunity to establish and expand a dedicated aviation practice within Acrisure’s global network is an incredible opportunity.”

“There is significant potential to deliver innovative solutions to clients across the aviation sector, and I look forward to working closely with the team to build a strong and differentiated offering.”

Quy said the appointment reflects continued investment in specialist capabilities.

“Jonny’s appointment reflects our continued investment in building specialist capabilities within Acrisure London Wholesale.”

“Aviation is a dynamic and globally connected market, and Jonny brings deep expertise and strong relationships that will enable us to develop a compelling proposition for clients and trading partners.”

“As we continue to expand our platform, attracting talented leaders like Jonny is central to our long-term growth strategy.”

The new division will work closely with Acrisure Aerospace, which provides access to aviation solutions across US, London and international markets.

Jason Riley, managing director of Acrisure Aerospace, said the hire strengthens integration across the business.

“Jonny’s addition strengthens the connection between ALW’s new aviation division and Acrisure Aerospace, expanding our capabilities and bringing a more holistic aerospace offering to clients worldwide.”
