Four reasons to consider a career in Cardiff

Book open Reading time: 2 mins

Admiral Group is based in Cardiff, a city undergoing a huge face lift over the next few years. There are a number of graduate roles with this firm, so we've had a look at four reasons you might want to consider a career here. 

1. A fast growing city

Cardiff is the UK's fastest growing city, with experts predicting a 42% growth rate over the next 20 years. This means a wide variety of exciting developments and new residential spaces. 

2. A capital city

As the capital of Wales, Cardiff offers a wealth of opportunities including great cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. The International Sports Village is being developed adjacent to Cardiff International Pool so if you're into sport, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Not to mention the national stadium for Wales, The Millenium Stadium, which is home to the Wales national rugby union team. 

3. Well connected

Cardiff Central Train Station is awaiting backing from the Department for Transport for a significant increase in the size of the concourse. There are a number of trains every day, with plenty of trains each day taking just over two hours to get to London. 

4. A great place to live

This capital city also topped a poll of the best UK cities to live in, with 92% saying that they liked living there. In addition to this, average weekly living costs sit at £359 a week, compared with a typical £486 in London. This means that living within your means is a realistic prospect.
