Lloyd's Military Network

Supporting Veterans in Insurance

Established in October 2014, the Lloyd’s Military Network exists to help Service Leavers transition successfully into the insurance industry. We’re a cross-industry community of over 500 members, supported by firms across the London Market and beyond.

Our purpose is simple: to create opportunities, share knowledge, and make the market better—together.

What we do

1. Transition – Supporting your next step

We help Service Leavers navigate the move into insurance by:

  • Raising awareness of the industry and the roles available.
  • Running a placement scheme to make the transition smoother and reduce risk.
  • Identifying opportunities for Service Leavers and network members looking to progress.
  • Championing the unique skills and values veterans bring to employers.

2. Networking – Building connections that matter

We provide a forum for veterans and reservists working in insurance to meet, share ideas, and support each other.

3. Charitable – Giving back together

We work closely with the Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund and the Royal British Legion to achieve shared charitable goals and make a positive impact.

About the Placement Scheme

We run a biannual placement programme designed to make your transition into the market smoother and more supported.

This programme typically includes an eight-week placement with one of our participating firms, giving you valuable exposure to the industry and an opportunity to grow your network.

Please note, places on the scheme are dependent on participating firms’ capacity to host placements, and there is fierce competition for places.

Insight Days

Every year, we host a series of insight days in partnership with firms across the market—designed for those in transition. These sessions give you the chance to learn what insurance is all about, explore the variety of roles available, and build valuable connections. Details of forthcoming insight days are listed on our calendar, so keep an eye out for opportunities to join us.

Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund

Founded in 1803, Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund is the oldest military charity of its kind. We are proud of our history and contributions to support the armed forces community on behalf of the Lloyd’s market. Today, we focus on improving the transition to civilian life for veterans and their families who need the most help. Since 2010, LPF has donated more than £3.2 million to support serving and ex-service personnel and their families.
