What areas do you look after?
I currently recruit for our Non-Motor departments.
Tell us about you and your Admiral story?
I joined Admiral in October 2020 as a Renewals Consultant. I dealt directly with Renewals queries and then moved into the Customer Value team, dealing with mid-term customers and upselling Multi Product. During my time in the Contact Centres, I helped with Volume Recruitment from time to time, and this prompted me to pursue a full-time role in recruitment, which I started in March 2022.
Why would you recommend Admiral?
Admiral is a great company to work for and offers a culture like no other. Admiral has given me the tools to form my own career path and there is always opportunity to develop and challenge yourself in different ways.
