50 jobs to go at Aviva’s Irish arm

The reorganisation of the Irish subsidiary of Aviva insurance will see 50 staff who were not included in the original restructuring offered redundancy packages.

The staff who work in the intermediary and partnership section within Aviva’s general insurance business were not originally included in the 540 job losses that Aviva announced last year.

A spokesperson for Aviva said that the changes in the business sector affected by the redundancy was due to the changes in the insurance market with less sales being generated through brokers and increased emphasis on direct selling.
