Founded in Kansas City in 1966, Lockton is the world's largest privately held, independent insurance brokerage, with nearly 15,000 Associates operating across 150+ offices in more than 140 countries. In fiscal year 2026 we reported $4.5 billion in global revenue — our sixth consecutive year of double-digit organic growth — a track record made possible by a structure that answers to clients, not capital markets. Because we are family-owned and perpetually private, we reinvest in our people, our capabilities, and our technology rather than managing to quarterly earnings. The result is a firm with the scale of a global powerhouse and the entrepreneurial agility of a business that genuinely cares who wins. Headquartered in Kansas City with a second global hub in London, Lockton serves clients from aerospace to financial services, from construction to healthcare, bringing creative, tailor-made risk, benefits, and reinsurance solutions to every engagement.

We are insurers, risk advisers, employee benefits consultants, reinsurance specialists, and industry experts — but above all, we are partners. Jack Lockton founded this firm on a straightforward conviction: a fierce commitment to private ownership instills every Associate with a single-minded focus on delivering results for clients. That conviction is alive in everything we do today. Our people are drawn to Lockton because they want to make a difference. They are voracious doers who go above and beyond to make clients' businesses safer, smarter, and more profitable. They bring an unmatched work ethic and the creative thinking to invent solutions when standard ones fall short. Backed by deep global resources and guided by local expertise, our Associates embrace your challenges as their own — and work tirelessly, as long-term partners, to protect your interests at every turn. A 94% client revenue retention rate is the proof.

Lockton delivers integrated solutions across three interconnected disciplines. In Risk, our specialists design customised insurance and risk management programmes spanning property, casualty, cyber, political violence, trade credit, financial lines, and specialty coverage for every major industry — from aviation and construction to technology and healthcare. In People Solutions, we help employers attract, retain, and support their workforces through industry-leading employee benefits, health and wellbeing programmes, retirement planning, and total rewards strategy; People Solutions surpassed $1 billion in U.S. revenue for the first time in FY2026, reflecting sustained demand for integrated advisory services. Through Lockton Re, our global reinsurance business, we support insurers and capital providers with sophisticated advisory, capital markets, cyber, credit, and portfolio solutions. Underpinning everything is Lockton SAGE, our proprietary AI-enabled technology ecosystem that connects data, analytics, and human expertise to deliver smarter insights and faster, more confident decisions — because we see artificial intelligence as an accelerator of human judgement, not a substitute for it.

Our job is very simple — to make our clients' business better. That clarity of purpose has guided Lockton since Jack Lockton opened his doors in 1966, and it remains the north star for nearly 15,000 Associates worldwide today. We are not driven by the quarterly pressures of the financial markets. Our private ownership model frees us to prioritise what truly matters: our clients and our people. As Chairman and CEO Ron Lockton puts it, that structure allows us to invest with a long-term horizon, adapt quickly to emerging needs, and continually reinvest in the capabilities and innovations that help clients navigate an increasingly complex risk environment. Purpose, for us, is not a corporate statement — it is a daily practice, lived through the quality of advice we give, the depth of relationships we build, and the measurable impact we create for clients in over 140 countries.

Five founding pillars — set in motion by Jack Lockton and still the core of our culture today — define how we show up. Perpetually private means our dollars are reinvested in our people and capabilities, not distributed to outside shareholders, giving the firm the stability and long-term horizon to do what is right. Client focus means a fierce commitment to service, creative thinking, and innovative solutions tailored to each client's unique needs — because doing things differently is the point. Empowered people means our Associates are trusted and encouraged to do what is right for clients, for one another, and for their communities, without bureaucratic red tape slowing them down. Caring culture means we attract people who genuinely care for each other and work together toward a common goal — Lockton is meant to be the best place to work and to serve clients. And shared beliefs and values means we actively cultivate diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and perspectives, recognising that what matters to our people matters to us.

When your broker is publicly traded, their allegiance is ultimately to their shareholders. Ours is entirely to you. That distinction — independence — is not a marketing phrase at Lockton; it is the structural reality that shapes every recommendation we make. Because we are family-owned and private, we are never pressured to steer you toward solutions that are more profitable for us. Our Producers and Associates have the freedom to bring truly creative thinking to your risks, drawing on the scale of a global network — 150+ offices, clients in over 140 countries — while retaining the focus and accountability of a local partner. Add a 94% client revenue retention rate, six consecutive years of double-digit growth, and the proprietary intelligence of Lockton SAGE, and you have a firm that consistently delivers uncommon results in a common industry. We are not interested in a transactional relationship. We are interested in making your business better — and in building the kind of long-term partnership that lets us do exactly that.

Sustainability at Lockton is woven into both our practice and our purpose. On the advisory side, our specialists help clients navigate the fast-evolving intersection of environmental risk and insurance — from the validity of carbon credits and the financial consequences of credit failure, to climate disclosure governance and the growing D&O exposure that accompanies shifting regulatory expectations. We track how softening property markets, escalating conflict-related losses, and the accelerating pace of geopolitical disruption reshape risk landscapes, and we build that intelligence into the counsel we give clients worldwide. Internally, our ESG and CSR Committees span multiple regions — from Asia to Latin America — promoting individual and organisational responsibility toward communities and the natural environment through initiatives such as reforestation partnerships in Chile and Mexico and ongoing environmental awareness programmes. Our 2025 Community Impact Report, titled 'Impact through Action,' captures how our values translate into measurable, global commitments.

At Lockton, purpose is not a guiding principle — it is at the heart of everything we do. In 2025, our community impact totalled over $20 million, benefitting more than 250 organisations across the globe. That number is the cumulative result of thousands of individual acts of care: Associates in the United States receiving paid time off each year to volunteer with organisations of their choosing and contributing over $25 million to United Way since 2000; nearly 300 UK colleagues and partners walking 23km for Alzheimer's research and raising £202,732 in a single day; the Australia team riding the MACA Cancer 200 and donating over AUD$500,000 to cancer research since 2014; MENA teams supporting vision rehabilitation for young people in the region; Chile Associates replanting native forests alongside their families; and Mexico's #FamiliaLockton uniting employees and their loved ones in community stewardship. These are not moments of corporate giving — they are reflections of who we are: a company rooted in compassion, resilience, and action.

Lockton was built on the belief that what is important to our people is important to us — and that includes the full breadth of who they are. We work hard to ensure every Associate feels welcomed, seen, heard, and valued from day one. Associate-led Resource Groups create dedicated spaces that foster community and genuine connection across identities and experiences. Our DEI Councils and Committees advance understanding through training, events, and learning opportunities for Associates, clients, and communities alike. We actively cultivate diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and perspectives because we know it drives better thinking, more innovative solutions, and stronger outcomes for the clients we serve. The Business Insurance Diversity and Inclusion Award is among the recognitions that reflect this ongoing commitment. Inclusion, for us, is not a programme with a start and end date — it is how we build culture every day, in every office, on every continent where we operate.
