Take one. We want our team to feel good, not just look good on paper.

Scott Ballard - Paraplanner
"The most fun thing about Lucent would be our multiple client events. It’s great way to get to know and interact with all our clients. Each year we hold a number of different events ranging from speakers such as Eddie the Eagle and Frank Bruno, monthly walks, our summer BBQ and investment seminars. It’s great to see our clients getting to know the staff as well as each other!"
Ellie Pemberton - Financial Planner
"My best experience so far is the Walk and Talk events! It is such a great opportunity to get to know our clients away from the office and it is such a lovely community to be part of."
