Lloyds Banking Group are transforming the way we do Engineering. We've created "LBG Labs" and we're building multi-functional, co-located teams giving them freedom to bring technology to the forefront of our business. This will help us create new, and improve existing, products and services to help us really make a difference to our customers.

Want to know more?

A Lab is a co-located team who work together on key projects to deliver value at pace by designing services that people find useful, easy and engaging to use. Typically, a Lab has a strong focus on sophisticated problem solving in an agile environment where engineers are free to experiment and build innovative products which will transform the way our customers engage with us.

Our Protection Lab is passionate about making it easy for our customers to understand their Protection needs and plan for the unexpected events in life. We do this by providing accessible, marketing leading products and services to our customers that evolve with them.

We've created a cloud native platform which will form the basis for the evolution of the Protection business going forward, and we have ambitious plans to develop this over the next few years.
