The regulatory challenges that face the financial

services industry today mean the actuarial

significance and we ensure that our consultants are

fully aware of the latest industry changes.

Our experience and networking skills cover the

whole market spectrum – Non-Life, Life & Health

and Pensions & Investments. As dedicated

specialists in this sector our consultants boast an

unrivalled insight into the finite pool of high quality

candidates available, from the newly qualified

through to Senior Partners, Chief Actuaries, Heads

of Risk and Managing Directors.

for specialist roles with tailored profiles. Based on

brief role profiles they managed to introduce very

box’ suggestions that influenced my thinking relating

significant hires for my team and I am very pleased with

them as a firm.”
