Acrisure London Wholesale (ALW), the London-based wholesale division of Acrisure, has moved into the aviation insurance sector with the launch of a dedicated specialist team.

The development comes shortly after the firm introduced its construction division, highlighting its ongoing focus on building out expertise across targeted, high-value segments.

From 16 March, Jonny Rowling has taken up the position of Senior Vice President (SVP), Head of Aviation, reporting to Tom Quy, Managing Director of ALW.

Rowling will be responsible for establishing and growing the aviation business line, with an emphasis on expanding market presence and enhancing client service capabilities globally.

He brings more than 15 years of sector experience, joining from Marsh, where he held the roles of Co-Head of General Aviation and Placement Leader, SVP. Earlier in his career, he spent seven years at Lockton.

Rowling’s appointment enhances the capabilities of the wider Acrisure Aerospace platform, supporting both continuity and expansion across the aviation sector. The group provides comprehensive coverage spanning light aircraft, commercial fleets, and complex aerospace risks, enabling clients to access solutions across US, London, and international insurance markets.

Rowling commented: “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 added: “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.”

Rowling will add continuity and market expansion to the already existing Acrisure Aerospace group covering light aircraft to commercial fleets and all other nuanced and complex aerospace placements. Acrisure Aerospace helps clients access the full range of aviation solutions via US, London and international aerospace insurance markets.

Jason Riley, Managing Director, Acrisure Aerospace said: “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.”
