Chicago-based Aon recorded its fifth straight year of revenue growth in Los Angeles County, which makes Los Angeles the second largest office within the Aon U.S. network. The Southern California region had a 96 percent client retention rate, its highest ever.

"We have not lost clients over investigations in the industry," Cargill said. He said the greatest growth was in construction, entertainment and pharmaceutical/chemical sectors in 2004.

Although revenues increased, Aon moved some jobs out of L.A. County due to a restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics).  of its health care practice, Cargill said. The number of employees in three L.A. County offices fell to 991 from 1,114 last year.

Note: The information on this list was supplied by representatives of
the brokerages themselves. Brokerages are ranked by 2004 L.A. County
revenues from insurance brokerage services. Numbers that appear to be
tied have been rounded. USI of Southern California Insurance Services,
No. 7 last year, may have qualified for this list, but was unable to
provide L.A. County information.

To the best of our knowledge, this information is accurate as of press
time. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy and
thoroughness of the list, omissions and typographical errors sometimes
occur. Please send corrections or additions on company letterhead to
the Research Department, Los Angeles Business Journal, 5700 Wilshire
Blvd., Suite 170, Los Angeles 90036. [c]2005 Los Angeles Business
Journal. This list may not be reprinted in whole or in part without
