Campion buys share in Aviva

Campion Insurance has acquired part of Aviva Direct Life and Pensions as part of a three-year expansion plan that will see the company become an established nationwide insurance brand.

The CEO of Campion Insurance Jim Campion said the deal with Aviva brings 15,000 new customers onto Campion Insurance and strengthens the company’s position in the Irish market, while creating 20 new jobs over the last year with at least another seven to be filled.

“This is part of our overall strategic plan; we hope in three years to put a business footprint in the areas we are not in at the moment,” said Mr Campion.
