Spear’s Review

Alexa Owen, the Leeds-based head of private clients for insurance giant Aon, takes pride in looking beyond ‘simply facts and figures’ – instead focusing on clients’ individual needs and the personal risks they are most concerned about. 

These clients include owners of family businesses, family offices, private trust companies and HNW private clients looking to cover their homes, cars, yachts and fine art. 

In addition to specific insurance products, Owen often provides broader advice around wealth protection and personal security.

‘Families are increasingly cyber‑aware’ and interested in understanding their digital footprint and online vulnerabilities, Owen says. In these cases, she can offer practical guidance, such as avoiding posting in real time on social media when at a restaurant or on a yacht, or inadvertently revealing that a property is unoccupied. She can also advise on hiring close protection where appropriate.

Ultimately, she explains, ‘it’s about having that little black book – it might not be something I can do myself, but I always know someone who can’.
