Emily Brimson,
Chaucer Syndicates Ltd. - " Towards the end of my studies, I was unsure of what market I wanted to work in and where I wanted to go from university."
Kirk Johnson,
Chaucer Syndicates Ltd. - "I first became interested in the Lloyd's Market when I took the opportunity to do some work experience at a Lloyd's syndicate where I spent time with various underwriters of the property division."
Rob Tuer, Catlin - "Insurance wasn't a career I had thought about whilst at university, but when it came to finding employment that was people orientated, offered genuine variety on a daily basis and real responsibility from the beginning, insurance ticked all the right boxes."
James Wilson, Catlin - "When I was considering potential careers in my final year of university, a family friend suggested that I considered the Insurance industry."
Alex Dugand - R.J. Kiln - "I learned about the opportunities at R.J. Kiln from a friend, which prompted me to research the Lloyd's Market, and I chose Kiln as my preferred employer. My decision was based on the importance they place on their graduate scheme, which has been running for more than 35 years. "
Neil Robertson - R.J. Kiln - "I discovered the potential for a career in the Lloyd's Market through a recommendation by a friend who had already undertaken a summer internship. Following this advice, I researched graduate opportunities in the Lloyd's Market and decided to apply for underwriting graduate schemes."
Lisa Bury, BMS Harris & Dixon - "My initial exposure to the insurance market was at the age of about 14 or 15, when I carried out work experience at a family friend's broking company. They were a fairly small personal lines company and I undertook various administrative tasks, for example typing cover notes."
Andrew Murnieks, Brit Insurance - "Like thousands of others in their final year of University, I was faced with the prospect of finding a job. Whilst endlessly searching for some inspiration and ideas on graduate employment websites a family friend, who is a loss adjuster, suggested the Lloyd’s insurance market as a potential prospect."
Georgina Glander, BMS - "I first decided that I'd like to work in the insurance industry while at Bath University studying economics and politics. I felt it might offer a more client facing, "people orientated" role than banking or a governmental role which most people of my degree discipline tend to follow."
Charles Mackay, Pembroke Managing Agency Ltd. - "During my university holidays I was a temporary employee at various Lloyd's managing agencies and at a broking house, primarily to earn money but also to gain work experience."
Richard Hooks, R.J. Kiln - "I came across the opportunity of a career in the Lloyd's market after filling out a questionnaire at the University Careers Service, and from there researched graduate opportunities on the Internet. I chose my present employer, R.J. Kiln, on the strength of their graduate scheme reputation, joining in October 2004."
