A lot of people think Lloyd's Register is involved in insurance. Or that LR is connected to Lloyd’s of London. The truth is actually quite different. Our work for the most part is highly technical. We’re more likely to hire an expert in structural engineering or stress analysis than someone with an insurance background. That’s because we’re involved in the certification, inspection and validation of major physical assets – from ships to oil rigs and industrial plants. At LR, each day we deliver solutions for our clients to address challenges, achieve milestones and maximise opportunities. And we are shaping the future through the development of new and innovative technology for the next generation of assets and businesses. Because, while we are proud of our history, it’s creating tomorrow that drives us. In everything we do, though, the focal point is always safety. As a global network with operations in 78 different countries, this is what unites us.
