Susannah Calder has been appointed as commercial lead for Aon’s Buyout and Wind-up Services in the UK.
Susannah is a partner in Aon’s UK Retirement team and was previously the Trustee Retirement Consulting lead for Aon’s Leeds and Manchester offices.
In her new role, Susannah will be joining a 12-strong team focused on helping pension schemes that are contemplating the journey to buyout and wind-up.

Martin Bird, senior partner & head of Risk Settlement, Aon, said:
“We expect buyout and wind-up to be key growth areas over the next few years as more and more schemes actively engage with insurance solutions and need appropriate support.
“Susannah’s hands-on experience of taking her clients on the buy-in to buyout journey, and her knowledge of the professional trustee landscape make her ideally placed to lead the team. We are very pleased to be welcoming her into this role.”

Susannah Calder, partner and commercial lead of Aon Buy-out and Wind-up Services, said:
