I never expected to stay in my first job for 20+ years. Now, as LCP’s CEO, I look back on the achievements of those 20 years with great satisfaction. Especially as LCP recently won a special award for ‘20 years of Excellence in Consultancy’ at the prestigious UK Pensions Awards.
I joined LCP in 1996 as a graduate. What struck me most of all when I started my career here was that LCP was a nice place to work. Partners’ doors were always open. People helped one another. We worked as a team. And we had fantastic people who were developing great ideas and services that helped our growing client base. Everyone was totally committed to doing the best for the firm’s clients.
All this is all just as true today. The first piece of work I did as a graduate over 20 years ago was for a client that I still advise today. Now LCP is known as a firm that consistently innovates for the benefit of its clients, particularly in its use of technology.
My advice to future graduates... look for a role at a firm with high ethical standards, that cares passionately about its people and clients, and is market-leading in technology and innovation – LCP has all of these things!
