Aon to Cut 700 jobs in Merger with Benfield




By EmploymentCrossing.com

Having completed its acquisition of the UK-based Benfield Group, Aon Corporation has announced plans to reduce its global headcount by 700 as the businesses merge.

London's Benfield is the world’s third-largest reinsurance broker, while Chicago's Aon is the world’s largest insurance broker.

Benfield will merge with Aon’s existing reinsurance operations, to form Aon Benfield.

The transaction will extend Aon’s presence in developing markets in Asia and Latin America, and should also boost the group’s standing in property catastrophe markets in Florida and the south-eastern states of the US.

Up to 17% of the combined workforce will be cut, with back office jobs most likely to be affected.

The restructure is expected to save up to $41 million in 2009, $94 million in 2010 and $122 million in 2011.

The acquisition was made for $1.43 billion, or $320 million below the price announced in August, because of a stronger US dollar.

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
