Admiral has confirmed that some roles at risk of redundancy in its UK insurance business will be transferred to India.
Earlier this month Admiral, Wales’ only FTSE 100 company, announced it had entered into a 45-day consultation with staff on plans to cut its UK insurance business by around 5%.
It said the move is designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce over-complexity. It emphasized that their adoption was not the reason for the dismissals. When it announced strong financial results for 2025 in March, Admiral announced it was implementing cost savings of £100m.
The admiral would not give a 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 driving the business.
“As our business evolves, we are continually reviewing how work is organized across our locations to ensure we have the right skills in the right places. This includes the ability to further develop in India, where we have had a long-established presence, alongside our existing UK teams.
WalesOnline has seen a document sent to affected staff in an admiral’s department. Regarding its operations in India, the document says, stressing that no final decisions have been made as it entered consultation: “We propose to remove some roles in the UK and scale our Delhi operations.” Read more
