Advice re contracts and mergers

The owner of the business I am an employee in is arranging for the business to be merged into a another company - probably in the next couple of months.
We both do the same job with me flexibly filling in where needed on a fixed number of hours a year, however I understand that the need for the numbers of hours of our job will diminish with the merger.
It appears that the new company are planning to give my colleague an employees contract and possibly all the remaining hours of our type of job...
there are a mutterings about finding me a job elsewhere in the new organisation -
I wondered if anyone had knowledge as to whether a company can employ effectively a new person and put them in someone else's role?
I have been there 11 years
