A Capita employee has died after falling three floors inside one of AXA’s offices in Bristol.

The AXA Centre in Stoke Gifford just outside Bristol was evacuated following the incident which resulted in the death of the man at around 1.30pm, according to the Bristol Evening Post.

The man has not yet been identified by police and it unclear how he fell from an internal balcony on the third floor of the office block into its central atrium. AXA has an outsourcing arrangement with Capita which processes life insurance and pensions policies.  

‘We are aware of a serious incident at our Bristol operations today which resulted in the fatality of a member of Capita staff. We wish to express the deepest sympathy to his family and colleagues,’ said a spokeswoman for Capita.
