Admiral has teamed up with The Vella Group to launch a co-branded repair centre in Manchester. It will exclusively serve Admiral customers and is part of a wider plan to forge additional partnerships and open other co-branded centres throughout the UK.

Admiral said the new centre was equipped with the specialised technicians, tools, charging points and bays to repair electric vehicles.

Scott McCammon, head of motor repair at Admiral, said: “We're incredibly proud of the service and the capabilities provided by our trusted repair partners, and this collaboration allows us to deliver a seamless vehicle repair experience.”

He added: “The repair centre enhances our ability to deliver expert repairs, including for electric vehicles, and reinforces Admiral’s position as a leading EV insurer. We’re continually investing in a repair network that supports our growing customer base and helps drive us towards a more sustainable future.”

Marc Holding, managing director of The Vella Group, said: “This partnership gives us an opportunity to explore and test innovative ideas and new processes, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and customer care. We are incredibly excited to be on this journey with Admiral.”
