Aviva has restructured its UK business, announcing the merger of its life, general and health insurance branches alongside the departure of its European CEO. According to its statement, the roles will largely be removed from back office and non-market facing areas including finance, operations and marketing. The announcement came on the same day as Zurich UK confirmed it is restructuring its UK business with a raft of new senior appointments. Aviva, which employs more than 30,000 people in Britain, said that following an independent review into the future of the company, it would be merging all three businesses – life insurance, general insurance and reinsurance. Zurich Life has been separated into two units, with Anne Torry heading life insurance and David White heading life distribution.
