Lloyd's hit with further sexism claims

Sexual harassment

The market is currently in the process of a cultural overhaul but still finding itself under attack.

Lloyd’s has found itself at the centre of fresh sexism and sexual harassment allegations as a former worker in the market published an opinion piece revealing how she was told to wear heels and make-up and advised to expect and accept sexist jokes.

The Evening Standard published a blog written by former Lloyd’s underwriter, Sophie Jarvis, who mentioned being taken aside and told that she had wear heels, a dress and a lot of make-up in order to succeed in the market.
