Lucy Scott’s story is one of steady growth.

After graduating from university, Lucy heard about Lockton through a family friend. She quickly found herself on the Cyber and Technology team.

“We felt so small when I joined,” noted Lucy. “Our practice was only five years old at the time and there were just a few of us. I didn’t know much about Lockton, but I knew it was a fast-growing business. And we have grown so much during my time here.”

After an exciting decade of learning, development, relationship building and growth, Lucy is now the Head of Cyber and Technology in the U.K., which works to understand and manage the cyber and technology risks of our clients around the world. The practice has grown exponentially over nearly two decades and now has more than 100 specialists globally.
“We work together globally but we’re able to be flexible for our regional clients,” said Lucy. “Insurance can seem so complicated but really we’re just creating relationships and solutions for our clients.”

In addition to her role, Lucy helps lead Ignite – Lockton’s professional growth community for the U.K. region. The goal of Ignite is to enable the professional growth of Associates while contributing to the financial growth and the future direction of Lockton.

“We revived the group during the pandemic when people were really craving engagement,” said Lucy. “It’s turned into so much more since then.”

With over 600 members, the group hosts and participates in a variety of activities. From “Day in the Life” initiatives where Associates can shadow Lockton’s leaders, to leadership talks, networking events, charity and community activities and more, the group continues to grow and make an impact every day.

“I love the sense of empowerment that we’ve created amongst our community leaders and members. We recently had someone come to me and ask if they could create an Ignite book club as another means to connect socially without alcohol. Associates are really taking the platform that we’ve created to drive forward their ideas and make it their own,” said Lucy.

Through it all, the group provides a community where young professionals can learn from each other, embrace and advance Lockton’s culture, and shape the future of Lockton.
For Lucy, the growth of Ignite represents her growth at Lockton.

“Lockton has changed a lot during my time here,” said Lucy. “You can feel the momentum. We’ve made a lot of investments in our people and our business – and you can see the impact that it’s making on our growth. It’s great to be able to grow alongside the company.”
