There seems to be a differing attitude in UK and US employers judging on the research I've done. While US employers seem happy tp consider those who can pass the prelim exams, in the UK certain employers even prefer taking students with no exemptions - something to do with training the candidates with the "company ethos".

Yeah I have also experienced that to some extent but I think largely having few exemptions doesn't affect much. I think employers don't welcome freely if you have exemptions beyond CT.
I don't know how you are placed with regards to Work Permit, i.e. do you need one to take up a position here. If you do then getting the actuarial job becomes very competitive as many employers are only looking for candidates who have no restriction to take up employment.
