Comment from Milena Mondini de Focatiis, Group Chief Executive Officer

“We have delivered good results in the first half of the year with continued growth in customer numbers and progress across our strategic objectives. We are announcing a Group profit of £429m and now serve more than 12 million customers, underpinned by our focus on being the insurer of choice for the greatest number of people through competitively priced products and great service. 

“Against more challenging market conditions, we are pricing for long-term sustainable growth with our UK Motor business having increased rates earlier than the market, following a softer period in the cycle. We are proud of our continued profitable growth in our other UK personal lines and European insurance businesses, and Admiral Money. In addition, the acquisition of Flock is complete and integration is progressing well.

“Recent geopolitical and climate-related events have highlighted the value of the products that we offer. We have helped customers impacted by the conflict in the Middle East and those affected by the floods and recent heatwaves which are becoming more frequent. We are also supporting those transitioning to greener vehicles and newer forms of mobility. We have seen a 27 per cent increase in our EV book year-on-year and increased demand for our free subscription service designed to help with the costs of EV ownership.

“We are investing in our technology and people, with conversational chat, voice, and WhatsApp agents, and automated document processing tools enhancing the customer experience and boosting colleagues’ efficiency. We were the first signatory of the HM Treasury and Financial Services Skills Commission compact as we are committed to upskilling and reskilling our people as our ways of working evolve.

“The strong fundamentals of our business remain unchanged. I am confident that our relentless focus on our growing customer base, and being efficient and adaptable mean that we are well-positioned to deliver on our growth ambitions.”
