Where are they now?
We caught up with Euan Reid, former partner at LCP, to find out what he's been up to since leaving and where he is now.
How long were you at LCP? 13 years
When did you leave? I joined as a graduate in 2004 and left as a partner in 2017 when I moved to Canada
What department were you in? Pension actuarial
What's your best memory from your time at LCP? There are lots! Professionally, I learned a ton from working with some of the best consultants in the business. Seeing their different styles helped me find my own. Being involved in some of the early conversations that led to the development of Visualise was also very exciting. On the social side, I have fond memories of exam celebrations and the Chase Challenge!
What are you up to now? I'm living and working in Vancouver. I'm putting my actuarial consulting skills to good use in a variety of areas, including public sector pensions (where Canada is famous for the right reasons), indigenous settlements (less so), workers' compensation (Canadian provinces provide mandatory insurance for injured workers) and class action settlements.
Are you in touch with any other LCP alumni? I'm lucky enough to work with 3 other LCP alumni who also all now live in Canada: Laura Strachan, Lewis Gascoigne and Tom Lambert. If you'd love to share your story of where you are now, please get in touch with us.

Opening doors with My Big Career
We began partnering with My Big Career just after the covid pandemic as we were looking for ways to support young people with their early career education. They work with students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds in London and North East England, providing career guidance throughout their school education journey – from year 7, through to sixth form or college. This early exposure opens more pathways for students, helping them plan a future with greater possibilities. It’s an open programme with no selection process, meaning every student has the chance to access career guidance.
One of the best ways we’ve been able to provide support is through hosting Insight Days. These events see up to 25 students visit the London LCP office for a day of career exploration.
