Insurance firm Admiral sees customer rise but turnover fall

Admiral's headquarters is in Cardiff and it also has offices in Swansea and Newport.

Cardiff-based insurance company Admiral has seen a drop in turnover despite a rise in customers.

The company's third quarter results for 2014 saw the group increase its customer numbers by 10% from 3.67m in 2013 to 4.03m.

Group turnover dropped by 3% - £15m - from £528m to £513m in the same time.

Chief executive Henry Engelhardt said the company anticipates that future earnings will be hit by the decline in insurance premiums in recent years.
