Lucinda Hodgkinson
Client insurance manager
Artex Risk Solutions
Personal bio: I am from South Africa and moved to Guernsey in 2006 for a gap year, with the original intention of returning to attend university. Outside of work I enjoy listening to music, reading, yoga, playing squash, and walking our dog along the beautiful coastline of the island.
Professional profile: I started my career with what is now Artex in 2006 and have been working on a broad range of clients from small single-line entities to larger captives with sophisticated insurance placements for multinational companies. I am a Chartered Insurance Practitioner and ACII qualified.
How did you end up in the captive industry?
I was looking for a job while living in Guernsey where I could gain some experience and take on a new challenge. The captive insurance industry sounded interesting and different from other roles available in the finance sector. From the start the company was very supportive and, as time progressed, my one-year plan has turned into a career that I thoroughly enjoy.
What has been your highlight in the captive industry so far?
The variety in the job and, of course, the people. Working in the captive industry means dealing with a wide range of clients and you have the opportunity to not only learn more from these clients, but also help provide them with innovative solutions to their insurance needs. No two days are the same and the challenges vary from one client to another. The people I have worked with over the years have always been supportive and as a result, I have never been too scared to ask questions, challenge ideas or to speak up. This has given me the confidence to progress and to learn wherever possible.
