✨ Meet Olivia! ✨

If you’ve called the LMS Insure & Invest office at any point this year, chances are you’ve already spoken with Olivia — she’s often the first voice on the line and the first person you’ll see when you walk through our door.

Olivia brings genuine care and attentiveness to every conversation, with a natural ability to make people feel heard and genuinely looked after from the very first interaction. With strong roots in our local community, she truly understands our clients and the importance of trusted relationships.

She’s already built incredible connections with clients and has quickly become a familiar and reliable presence in our office.

We’re incredibly grateful for the way she supports our clients and represents LMS every day.

Next time you call or pop in, make sure you say hi 👋

Welcome to the team, Olivia 💙

This week we’re celebrating a pretty special milestone — James Mackie reaching 20 years with LMS Insure (formerly AMP). 🎉

Two decades in one industry (and with the same business through its evolution) is no small feat. From the early days to where we are now, James has been a familiar face and a steady presence across the years — seeing change, growth, and everything in between.

Along the way, he’s built strong relationships, shared his knowledge, and played a part in shaping what LMS Insure is today.

20 years of loyalty, experience, and contribution is something worth recognising — and celebrating.

Congratulations James, and thanks for being part of the journey. 👏
