1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am responsible for arranging Fine Art Insurance coverage for clients, such as galleries, dealerships, private collector and Auction houses. I have my own accounts I work on, ensuring client's demands and needs are met. Day-to-day I have to do tasks such as, answer emails/ phone calls and produce documents. I regularly speak to clients and underwriters, in person and over the phone. I have to work together with my team to ensure targets are met.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have developed my communication skills by meeting lots of new people within the company and outside. There's many networking events that occur which give the opportunity to interact with various people. Also, by participating in client meetings I have developed my communication skills and also learnt about professionalism, and being a ambassador for the organisation.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is well structured, the external apprenticeship provider gives everyone a 'skills tutor' who organises catch-ups and ensures I am on target with my tasks.

My employer is very supportive. I can ask for extra study hours if it's needed. And there's many other employees who have completed the apprenticeship programme who are available to help with studies, answer any questions or just to support you as you start the role.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There's often social activities and networking events that I am involved in whereby you meet other young professionals. There is an Under 35's group within Lloyd's that arrange activities such as black tie events, cricket, quiz nights or sip & paints. I have also had the opportunity to travel with work.
