Admiral's Record Profits: £958M, 13K Employees Share £1.8M

Admiral, the Welsh insurance giant, reported record profits for 2025, with pre-tax profits surging 16% to £958 million and turnover at £5.9 billion. The strong results led to £1,800 worth of free shares for each of the 13,000 employees, including over 7,000 in South Wales. The core UK car insurance business reached a billion pounds in profit for the first time, while European operations, particularly in France, performed well. Admiral also expanded its pet, home insurance, and loan products through Admiral Money, with loan balances rising 24% to £1.46 billion and doubling profits to £26 million. The companys focus on service and digital tools drove customer growth and retention. Recent acquisitions, such as Flock, and the retirement of long-time finance chief Geraint Jones, signal a new era for Admiral. Looking ahead, the firm plans to leverage data, tech, and AI to build multi-product customer relationships and efficiency, while maintaining its people-first culture.
