Aegon chief to fight cuts

THE new chief executive of Aegon UK, which faces the prospect of slashing up to 600 posts in Edinburgh this year, has pledged to fight to defend Scottish jobs and believes there is no need for "major outsourcing".

However, Adrian Grace reportedly said the firm's Dutch parent company had been "brutally clear" that its UK operation will have to battle against Asia for investment to avoid further job cuts.
