Josh spent a week interning in the actuarial department of Co-operative Insurance Group where he produced graphs comparing the company's performance to industry benchmarks and helped compile documentation for an EU regulatory project. Throughout the week, Josh worked enthusiastically and conscientiously, asking insightful questions and getting along well with the team. His supervisor was impressed with Josh's work and maturity, believing he would make a great future employee.

1. Joshua Brownlow Co-operative Insurance Group Work
Experience
Josh spent a week with us in the actuarial department in August
2012 and did some really good quality and valuable work.
What did he do?
He produced several graphs of our performance against the rest of
the industry which will be used in Board reports later in the year.
He also helped us bring together documentation work for Solvency
II, an EU regulatory project that affects the whole insurance
industry and changes the way we demonstrate that we are solvent.
How did he do it?
Throughout the week he was enthusiastic, conscientious and
worked really hard. He asked questions that demonstrated he was
interested in what he was doing and what it would be used for and
also in the tools we use such as VBA macros that he has not seen
before.
He came across as very mature and friendly and got on well with
the rest of the team.
Conclusion
I hope when he comes to apply for jobs, if he chooses an actuarial
career that he will apply to us as I think he will be a great asset to
a future employer.
