Lockton is honoured to announce we are among the winners of the 2025-26 RateMyPlacement Awards, ranking No. 40 on the Best 100 Student Employers list.

The Best 100 is based on the thousands of reviews submitted to RateMyPlacement.co.uk by students who have completed a placement, internship, insight or vacation scheme in the last year. Unlike other workplace awards, there is no self-nomination or application process. Instead, it's solely based on student-written reviews on RateMyPlacement.co.uk. where participants are asked to rate their work placements on categories including their day-to-day role and responsibilities, the company itself and the overall experience.

At Lockton, we are proud to offer a variety of programmes for students to start their career in insurance. Through apprenticeships, internships and graduate programmes, our student Associates benefit from a structured learning programme, exposure to the insurance sector, skill and knowledge enhancement, and innovation and leadership opportunities.

Lockton boasts a 4.8/5.0 rating on RateMyPlacement, with reviews commonly mentioning the supportive environment, meaningful work, and real-life experiences.

Here’s what some students are saying about Lockton on RateMyPlacement:

My time at Lockton was absolutely incredible. The friendly and supportive environment, coupled with the meaningful work and high level of responsibility I was given, made the experience truly rewarding. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my internship and feel grateful for the opportunity to contribute and learn so much.

It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, I have learnt so much and it has convinced me that this field is where I want to work in the future. I was surrounded with amazing people that made the experience even more special.

The emphasis placed on culture was made apparent from day one, and it was one of kindness, support, trust and hard work. These are all important values and something I believe quite unique to a large company. The culture and general atmosphere was a large reason why I enjoyed my time with the company so much: there was such an emphasis on looking after the Associates which is incredible.

I really enjoyed my summer internship at Lockton. The programme was structured brilliantly enabling me to have experience in all areas of the business. We were also given the opportunity to work on a project that we were able to present to senior stakeholders on the final week. The skills I gained have definitely been invaluable throughout the programme.

Lockton's company culture is 5*. Everyone is very welcoming. Associates are encouraged to network and there are many company initiatives in place to help foster professional and personal development.
