Iris Shrestha, Associate Consultant

I joined the Pensions Actuarial department in Winchester as a graduate in 2021. Coming from a background in Physics, I was completely unfamiliar with working in pensions. Thankfully, LCP was extremely welcoming to me. Everyone in the firm, from junior colleagues to partners were very friendly and always happy to help.

The graduate training program was very thorough and helped me build my confidence. It introduced me to some very technical topics as well as developing my soft skills. Throughout my time here, I have been involved in a variety of interesting work, for a range of clients, in both the corporate and trustee side of pensions. I am also involved with internal research projects.

Outside of client work, I have been involved in initiatives focused on supporting charities and helping improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the firm. There are also lots of social events to get involved with, ranging from the weekly team quiz to competing in the UK Kubb Championship.
