Professional Advice from Industry Experts

At the inception of Abacus Association in 1988, the founding board of directors selected the insurance broking firm of Adam & Adam Limited to provide the appropriate access to insurance products and to risk management advice. Since that time and after allowing for a succession of takeovers and mergers, Adam & Adam Limited is now part of the international insurance broking firm Aon. The relationship between Abacus and Aon is largely unchanged with some original Adam & Adam personnel still employed by Aon and providing ongoing service to Abacus members.
