TWENTY staff at Zurich have been told their jobs are being reviewed. The workers are in the Zurich Independent part of the company in Swindon, which is an independent financial advice business.

The jobs are a mixture of sales and support staff.

Zurich spokeswoman Nicola Bryson said the review, which has just started, was part of Zurich's ongoing process.

No date has yet been set for the end of the review, and it does not affect any other departments based in Swindon.

Zurich employs just under 3,000 people in Swindon.

It employs a similar number in its other main UK base in Cheltenham.

In March last year it announced it was making 450 people redundant, and last year it also outsourced its IT department.
