Global Risk Consultants Corp. (GRC) has acquired the U.S. Field Services division of Aon plc’s Property Risk Control Practice, adding a team of 20 U.S.‑based engineers who specialize in pre‑loss property risk assessments to its portfolio.
Founded in 1958 and acquired by TÜV SÜD in 2010, GRC is a leading independent provider of property‑loss control and risk‑engineering services. The addition of Aon’s field‑services team expands GRC’s engineering bench and strengthens its ability to deliver on‑site risk assessments across the United States.
Aon’s divestiture is part of its 3x3 plan, a multi‑year strategy that prioritizes core risk‑capital and human‑capital services while shedding non‑core units. By selling the U.S. Field Services division, Aon frees capital and management bandwidth to focus on its core offerings and accelerate growth initiatives.
The transaction comes amid a rising demand for independent risk insight, as insurers and corporates seek specialized expertise to manage operational risks. GRC’s expanded U.S. presence and enhanced scheduling flexibility position it to capture this demand and support a growing client base without compromising service quality.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition signals GRC’s continued investment in growth and Aon’s ongoing portfolio optimization. The transaction is expected to strengthen GRC’s market position and provide Aon with additional resources to pursue its strategic priorities.
The deal underscores a broader trend of consolidation in the risk‑engineering sector, where firms are expanding capabilities through targeted acquisitions to meet evolving client needs and capitalize on market opportunities.
