Giving you part of the company is just one of the ways we like to reward our people
|
Our share scheme is our way of saying “thank you” for all your hard work! After just one year of service, you'll become eligible to receive up to £3,600 worth of shares every year.
Thanks to our continued success over the years, we have always paid
out the maximum amount. |
You can sell your shares after three years, or keep them for five years and then sell them tax and NI free. In addition, you will receive a dividend on your shares twice a year. Our Share Scheme is very popular within our business, and one of the great benefits of working at Admiral. |
As one of our four pillars to our culture, Reward and Recognition is extremely important. We believe that happy staff make happy customers, so we have a huge range of great benefits to make sure everybody has something to smile about! Take a look at a few of our more popular ones below.
