Brit Insurance has won JLT's Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) portfolio from Aviva.

JLT is one of the three REC appointed brokers. REC is the trade body for the £19.7bn private staffing and recruitment industry.

A spokeswoman for JLT said: "After many years of partnering with Aviva, 'This Recruitment' decided to switch to Brit to offer improved coverage and terms to REC members. We deal with REC members both on a direct and wholesale basis and it was judged that the move to Brit would serve both communities better."

Aviva and Brit declined to comment.
