Life at Admiral


Admiral was founded back in 1993 as a Welsh motor insurance start-up with just 57 people.

Today we’ve got over 11,000 colleagues  and we’re the only Welsh company in the FTSE 100 - a fact we’re extremely proud of!

We’ve been at the forefront of change for over 30 years - but there’s one thing that hasn’t changed - our people are just as important to us now as they were back then.

Some colleagues have been with us since the beginning, but however long you’re with us at Admiral you’re accepted, supported and empowered to be you. Because you’re brilliant.

Our Culture

We prioritise doing what’s right: for customers, for each other, and beyond. So you can live by your values and define your own direction.

Ours is an open, honest, and low-ego culture that enables you to flourish. It’s why we’ve been recognised as a Great Place to Work for 25 years, and it’s why our people stay.

Our culture is built on four pillars: Communication, Equality, Reward & Recognition and Fun.

Grow and Progress


At Admiral, the floor is yours. Learn more, make new connections, or just feel the buzz of doing what you love.
 
We develop and invest in your personal journey to help you reach your full potential, with a strong culture of learning and development. We offer comprehensive online learning, tailored training and the accredited qualifications you need do your best work.
 
We’re proud of our strong record of talent mobility, so whatever your aspirations are, with Admiral you can achieve them.

Be You


Admiral is a place where you can Be You. Where every colleague feels respected, valued, and empowered to be their true selves.

Our commitment to being a diverse and inclusive place to work runs through everything we do. You’re brilliant, just as you are - and we’ll work hard to make sure your progress is never slowed by barriers related to race, gender, age, sexuality or any of the protected characteristics.

Our Diversity and Inclusion Working Groups run a calendar of events and actively encourage allies to get involved.

We have shaped a culture that gives you the confidence, and a safe space, to represent yourself and what you stand for in our business.

Our six Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Working Groups:

Gender Diversity
Ethnicity & Culture
Ty Rainbow (LGBTQ+)
Multigenerational
Accessibility & Neurodiversity
Social Mobility

Our Offices


It’s really important to us that our colleagues have a healthy work-life balance and are supported to do their best work, their way.
 
We have adopted a hybrid approach to work. It’s all about trusting our people to make the right choice in where, when and how they work. Our hybrid model gives our people flexibility and control over how they work. Where possible, this includes working different hours.
 
Our offices are the beating heart of Admiral. To keep our unique culture and the sense of connection and belonging, we encourage colleagues to come together to collaborate, strengthen relationships and enjoy working together. All of our spaces are designed to make collaboration easy - offering quieter areas for focused working and dedicated areas for company-wide events.
