Tim Orton, chief executive of Aviva's platform business, is aiming to double assets under administration (AUA) to £10bn by the end of 2015.

Aviva will consider another transformative acquisition once its takeover of Friends Life beds in, according to reports.

Aviva has agreed to buy Friends Life for £5.6bn in a deal that will create the UK's largest insurance, savings and asset management firm.
