We’re delighted to bring you the September & October 2025 edition of LMF Engage, with thanks to our edition sponsor, Amarillo Technologies, packed with updates, stories, and highlights from across the London Market. Over the past two months, the LMF community has been travelling, connecting, and celebrating — from presenting a £6,257 cheque to our charity partner, Support Dogs, to honouring new Gold LMF Ambassadors for their outstanding contributions to the Market.
Welcome to this latest edition of LMF Points of View. We’ve assembled some genuinely insightful content from our Members, which we hope you’ll find thought-provoking and interesting. We continue to aspire to help the Market learn, network and collaborate on and around topics that are most pertinent to you and your firm, helping us all to grow and develop in this unique trading environment.
Roger Oldham speaking with Chris Daykin, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Support Dogs, about the importance of corporate fundraising in sustaining their vital work.
