For more than a decade, LMF has been helping young professionals discover, enter and build rewarding careers in the Lloyd’s and London Insurance Market. It has always been a personal passion of our Founder and CEO, Roger Oldham.
Roger created the LMF Leaders of Tomorrow Programme and continues to devote considerable time to mentoring, careers guidance and speaking with young people in educational, professional and community settings.
Attracting talent is only the beginning. We also need to help young professionals build confidence, create connections, develop their knowledge and find their place within our remarkable Market.
Roger recently sat down with Keir Buss, one of the Market’s newest young professionals, to discuss:
The conversation with Keir contains some excellent insights for young people looking for their first opportunity. The London Insurance Market is open to young people (and those of any age) from all backgrounds, with a huge variety of skills, interests and ambitions. You do not need to have followed one particular academic or career path.
There are many routes into the Market through organisations such as LMF, LMG, LIIBA, the LMA, the IUA, individual firms and the many networks and communities that support our industry.
Roger advice: Reach out. Ask questions. Make connections. We really are a friendly bunch.
If you are a young professional looking for a route into the Market, listen to Roger and Keir’s interview for practical advice, useful tips and an honest perspective on getting started.
LMF is proud to have promoted the London Insurance Market as a wonderful and rewarding career destination throughout our 10+ years at the centre of the Market.
Through our Leaders of Tomorrow Programme, mentoring, community activities and educational events, we will continue helping the next generation enter the industry — and thrive once they are here.
