Press Release: Visit to Admiral Casino
/The representative for Kilmarnock and Loudoun visited the casino in his constituency on Friday (28th January).
The MP was given a tour of the premises and met with representatives from Admiral to discuss their recovery from the pandemic.
The organisation has more than 230 stores UK wide that showcase casino and classic slot games available on both technologically advanced slot machines as well as traditional fruit machines. The group also own selected catering outlets, like the town’s popular Coffee Trader.
Mr Brown discussed with the team their recovery from covid, training initiatives and the importance of responsible gambling.
Commenting, the MP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun said:
“It was great to meet with Kevin, Brian and Donna from Admiral. We had a good chat about a lot of important issues – primarily the organisation’s recovery from the pandemic and how they hope to grow.
“What stood out for me was the 16 members of staff they employ across both the casino and Coffee Trader. Also within that the educational progression that is available within certain roles. For example, Donna, who is a store manager and has taken part in licensed e-learning programmes through their Admiral Academy.
“I was glad to hear no redundancies were made throughout the course of the pandemic. I appreciate the sacrifices they made – like the rest of us – but it was great that no jobs were lost during this period of economic uncertainty. Hopefully, with restrictions being lifted they can continue to progress with some of the exciting ideas they have for the future.
“Of course, we had to discuss the importance of responsible gambling and the other issues that go with that. The team at Admiral were confident that within their premises it is the safest place to bets given the £2 maximum stake as well as other low price and stake gaming.”
