History
The company was established in 1908. The former Norwich Union (Ireland) was merged into Hibernian.
The company found itself at the centre of controversy in June 2008 when it announced that it was to transfer much of its operations to Bangalore, India, with the loss of 580 jobs.[3]
The company rebranded to Hibernian Aviva in January 2009, but is now simply Aviva in 2010, as part of a global rebranding campaign to have all their subsidiaries operate under the same name.
Aviva Stadium
On 12 February 2009, it was announced that the new Lansdowne Road stadium will be called the Aviva Stadium, after a deal with Hibernian Aviva reported to be worth €40 million and the deal will last for 10 years.[4]
