Admiral has confirmed that some roles at risk of redundancy in its UK insurance business are being transferred to India.
Earlier this month Admiral, Wales’ only FTSE 100 company, announced it had entered into 45-day consultation with staff over plans to reduce its UK insurance business by around 5%.
It said the move was designed to improve operational efficiencies and reduce over-complexity. It stressed that its adoption was not the reason for the redundancies. When announcing strong financial results for 2025 back in March, Admiral announced it was implementing cost savings of £100m.
Admiral wouldn’t give any figure on the number of roles that could be transferred to its Indian operations. However, it will only apply to a number of its departments.
A spokesman for Admiral said: “Admiral remains committed to its UK operations and the significant role they play in serving customers, developing talent and leading the business.
“As our business evolves, we continually review how work is organised across our locations to ensure we have the right capabilities in the right places. This includes continuing to develop capability in India, where we’ve had a long-established presence, alongside our existing UK teams.”
WalesOnline has seen a document sent to impacted staff in one Admiral department. On its India operations, the document, which stresses that no final decisions have been made as it has entered into consultation, says: “We are proposing to remove some roles in the UK and scale our Delhi operations.” Read more
