About This Podcast

Hello and welcome to Actuarial People with James Turner, where each week I’ll be speaking with a UK Actuary. My aim is to give you greater insight into the people behind the actuarial profession, and their personal career journeys. We’ll cover things like why and how they became an Actuary, what they do on a day to day basis, how they balance work and exams with life, and how their roles have evolved over time. So whether you’re an actuary yourself, or you’re aspiring to become one in the future, welcome and enjoy! https://actuarialpeople.com This podcast is sponsored by https://turnerperkins.com - I specialise in helping pensions actuaries at all levels with their career moves. Do get in touch if you'd like to have a conversation!
