Manchester United sponsor AIG ‘insures 75 of the top 100 Irish firms’

THIS side of the Atlantic AIG, the giant general insurer, is best know to thousands of soccer fans as the logo on the Man United soccer strip.

But it is much more than that. In Britain alone it writes about 12 million policies annually and it has offices in 130 countries.

In Ireland, it accounts for about 4.5% of the Irish market, but it claims to have 75 of the top 100 firms on its books.
