Churchill's Irish jobs
Direct insurer Churchill Insurance has announced it will create 600 new jobs in a new operation in Galway, Ireland.
Of this total, 200 jobs will be available in a new call centre in Ballybrit. The insurer said it will recruit locally and the recruitment drive will begin immediately. The new office is planned to go live on 5 June.
Aviva revolt
Some CGNU shareholders are expected to refuse to back the proposed name change to Aviva at the insurer's annual meetingnext Monday.
The proposal is likely to be unpopular because of the perceived expense and disruption it would cause.
It provoked widespread criticism in the press when it was announced in late February. Other organisations with the name have been discovered, including a Canadian lesbian website, a London feminist group and an Argentinian tea. CGNU said it remains confident that enough members will vote for the name change in the crucial vote.
Killing law action
Workplace deaths have increased for the second year, prompting TUC calls for the government to act on its promise to legislate for a corporate killing law in this parliament.
TUC general secretary John Monks said the figures, released by the Centre for Corporate Accountability, were a stark reminder that the government needed to get tough on employers that broke health and safety laws.
"It's time for ministers to honour the promises they have made about new laws, new crimes and new funding," he said.
AXA director quits
AXA Insurance's personal lines intermediary director Maggie Game has quit after just three months with the insurer.
Personal lines director Lee Gladwell, in an email to AXA's insurance managers, said Game was leaving to "pursue a different opportunity that has arisen".
According to Gladwell, Game would go on immediate "gardening leave".
