What do you like about your job and the company?

My main motivation for working at LBG as an apprentice is to be an active changemaker, driving finance as a force for good. For instance, our recent transformation has enabled us to reach a significant milestone of twenty million app users and launch our refreshed mobile app to support our customers with their banking needs. As customer expectations evolve, LBG is ready to respond with more personalisation, making it easier for customers to interact with us and build trust in our relationships. Everyone at LBG is value-led and prioritises our customers' needs as we transform, staying true to our mission and purpose of being at the forefront of their journeys and helping Britain prosper. This is what drives me every day at LBG.

Greatest achievements

By leading with empathy and clear communication, I have been able to create a supportive atmosphere with my team where everyone feels valued and motivated to network with each other and make the most of their journeys at Lloyds Banking Group.

My top three tips would be: - Embrace new opportunities and experiences. You never know what you might learn or discover from venturing into the unknown or challenging yourself. Be ready to adapt and grow from different situations and perspectives. - Cultivate curiosity and eagerness to learn. Demonstrating that you can acquire new knowledge and skills in diverse domains and apply them effectively in your work will make you stand out. Seek feedback and guidance from others and always look for ways to improve yourself. - Take initiative and collaborate with others. Keep your eye out for interesting opportunities and be open to asking - asking questions, asking for support, asking for new opportunities. Show that you can work well with others and contribute to projects. Build productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders and develop as a respected subject matter expert.
