MORE than 175 Hampshire jobs are being cut by an insurance giant.

Zurich has announced it is making 163 workers based at its offices in Whiteley and a further 14 in Farnborough redundant as part of a shake-up that will see nearly 350 staff cut nationally.

The changes are part of a restructure that will see some operations outsourced to a series of brokers through Broker Direct, Endsleigh and the Wessex Group.
