As a small-smart up in the 1960s, the founder of Lockton Companies did whatever it took to keep a client. Now a global insurance broker, that spirit remains.

It is also evident in the loyalty it shows its employees. In 2021/22, all its associates got to enjoy five extra days off work as a reward for the long hours they put in as the pandemic blurred the boundaries between work and home.

Lockton Companies has around 1600 employees across 12 UK sites and is the world's largest privately owned independent insurance broker and consultant.

With corporate clients in more than 125 counties, it works to protect their people, property and reputations through its insurance brokerage, risk management, employee benefits and retirement services.

The business recognises that its associates – its ‘most valuable asset' – are at the heart of these positive client relationships. It aims to make them feel valued through rewards, a healthy work-life balance and career opportunities.

Lockton Companies invests heavily in its associates' growth and development. Its annual talent review highlights employees for promotion and those with the potential for it. Managers can also nominate employees for leadership development programmes or 'Flight School', where they gain the skills to become a client's strategic, trusted advisor.

The business encourages its employees to become as qualified as they can be, technically and professionally. It offers paid study leave and covers the costs of study materials, exams and professional body memberships. It recognises these academic and apprentice-related achievements at its annual Associate Awards.
