Swansea based van insurance specialist, Gladiator has recently celebrated insuring its 50,000th customer by giving away free insurance for a year. Gladiator has customers across the UK, but the 50,000th emerged as a carpenter from just up the road in Ammanford.
Part of the Admiral Group, Gladiator launched in April 1998 with just 8 members of staff and has grown over the past 9 and a half years to be one of the UK’s leading van insurance specialists employing over 130 people in its offices on the SA1 development.
Gladiator managing director, Chris Price, commented, “Reaching 50,000 customers is a fantastic milestone for us and it shows just how much we’ve grown since we launched. This year we have seen acceleration in the growth of our customer base, and through the continued hard work of our team we have managed this growth, whilst maintaining the high levels of service we provide to our customers.
“We’ve got a real family atmosphere across Gladiator as most of our staff have been together for sometime. In fact, our staff turnover rate is just 11%. Now the challenge is on to hit 100,000 customers, and it’s one that we relish.”
The 50,000th customer, Ian Risk, was surprised and delighted when he heard the news, “I was pretty shocked when I heard the news, and at first just thought it was a sales call. I thought someone might be winding me up but my insurance has been paid for so it most definitely isn’t. I’ve insured with Gladiator for over 5 years and have always got a great deal – not as good as this one though!”
