Welsh Company of the year, again!

Admiral Group was named Welsh Company of the Year at the prestigious Chambers of Commerce Business Awards for the third time in its 16-year history.

In front of a business audience of 300 at the Mercure Holland House Hotel in September, David Stevens collected the coveted award. It is the third time Admiral has won the award, also being named Welsh Company of the Year back in 1999 and 2005.

The awards, from South Wales Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Western Mail, were presented by journalist, presenter and Strictly Come Dancing contestant, John Sergeant.

Admiral were nominated by Western Mail Business Editor Sion Barry for the award and beat Glogau Gold and Wynnstay Group to the accolade.

Among the reasons Admiral won was because it is Wales’ only FTSE 100 company, and since floating on the London Stock Exchange has constantly grown revenues, profits and market share.
