Hi for me it is the people and the values we live by. Now it is even more important to be part of a company who's purpose is to Help Britain recover. LBG stands out above competitors for being a UK focussed bank and one of the countries largest financial groups.

Hi there,

A few different reasons to be honest. Firstly, when I completed the initial survey I was really impressed at how much the focus was on values and doing the right thing. This was a stand out in my mind in an industry that is still dealing with a poor reputation given the impacts of the financial crisis.

Secondly, I wanted to do something important and that gave me purpose. I think finance is a very undervalued area - people don't like to talk about it but actually it can have a huge impact on quality of life. I felt I wanted to work in it so I could understand and then support both my friends and family and our wider customer base in getting finances healthy.

Thirdly, finance felt it could give me a broad range of opportunities. Lloyds itself is a hugely recognisable company in the U.K. and offers an amazing variety of roles but many other big companies work in this area so I felt it was a good industry to join.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Amelia
