"A huge thank you to everyone who makes Admiral such a fantastic place to work. We’ll always prioritise nurturing an environment where our colleagues feel supported, heard, and empowered.”
Benedict Gautrey, Great Place to Work managing director, said: “Year after year, it’s truly inspiring to witness a growing number of organisations earn a spot on our list. We’ve seen an increase yet again in trust index scores which means the bar has been raised and this accreditation is a significant and tremendous accomplishment.
