Ailidh Mackichan, Actuarial Analyst

After studying physics at university, I was looking for a career where I could problem solve and work with numbers. This led me to joining LCP as a graduate in the Winchester Pensions Actuarial department in 2021. I have been thoroughly enjoying my time working here.

There is a wide variety of work to get involved with, so no two days are the same. As my degree subject was completely unrelated to Actuarial, I have appreciated the comprehensive training LCP has provided. This training encompasses both technical and soft skills topics. This allows graduates to both grow their technical knowledge and develop professionally. LCP is also an incredibly sociable company and I have been able to get involved in charity initiatives and social events. This was important to me as I had relocated from Scotland to Winchester, so a friendly and social environment allowed me to settle into the area as well as working life.

Graduates also have regular opportunities to visit the other office to the one they usually work in, which has allowed me to meet a wide variety of people across the company.
