It seems very strange that in a couple of weeks, I will have been working at Lloyd’s for over a year and we will also be joined by a new intake of graduates.
Time really has gone very quickly, my placement in Market Operations seems like yesterday, despite the fact that I moved to my market [...]

I’m often asked how (or perhaps why) I chose to work in insurance—usually by people from outside the industry, not surprisingly.

During the induction week I’d met [...]
