History – Lumley Jacobs becomes LJS Global
With a new decade, come new opportunities. We felt that 2020 was the year to rebrand and become LJS Global to reflect the more international nature and intent of our business.
Lumley Jacobs UK was founded in 2003 by Robert Lumley and Hugo Jacobs with the sole objective of helping insurance providers de-commoditise their products and services. The business grew quickly by focusing on the needs of large incumbent insurers and their customers.
Due to increasing demand for Lumley Jacobs’ solutions in the UK and North America, Lucian Snow joined the firm and opened the Boston office in 2014.
Over the years, LJS has created widely diverse experiences for our partner clients. Beyond the importance of surprising and delighting the policyholder, the focus has been on a program’s ability to launch smoothly, scale efficiently, and pay for itself quickly.
