Next up in our Digital Finance ‘Meet the Team’ series, we spoke to Partner Dermot Lucid.
We find out that there’s no such thing as a typical day for Dermot and discover his admiration for BHP and his co-workers. Outside work, he enjoys spending his time with friends and family and working his way through Reacher on Amazon Prime!

What do you like about BHP?
I enjoy the ethos of the firm and their approach to working with staff and clients.

There is no such thing as a typical day, but I spend a significant part of every day on the phone.

Qualifying in 2005 and being promoted to partner in 2020.
What or who inspires you at work?
Difficult to answer as I work with a lot of good people who I admire.

It’s a fantastic firm to work for.

Spending time with my family and friends.

Groundhog Day, every day should be the same – but it never is.

We have just started watching Reacher on Amazon but we have very little spare time so it will take a while to finish!

Anything that is bad for you!
