While working at local broker Thomas & Co, Lauren Cooper dedicated her time and efforts to creating and maintaining schemes with insurers for specialised wheelchair-adapted vehicles. “My passion for this was fuelled by the unfair prices disabled people were forced to pay in order to insure an adapted vehicle, due to their disability,” she explains. Additionally, while at Thomas & Co., Cooper took time to learn the System Service Processor (SSP) computer system and worked with SSP to improve issues she identified. To this end, she arranged for Thomas & Co. to be placed on a separate server for piloting processing, which ultimately allowed the company to assist other brokers who were affected by major SSP outages.

Recently, Cooper joined Swinton Business as a commercial account handler, where she is already “exceeding expectations and is level with people who have been in a similar role for much longer,” says a peer. When she is not working on insurance, Cooper enjoys outward bounds pursuits, and has previously travelled on missionary trips to Zambia, Angola, Madagascar and Mauritius.
