How APR Can Help
We put you, the client, at the heart of everything we do. Across all our services, we are committed to delivering high-quality solutions at competitive rates using our rigorously trained staff who add value from day one. We proactively work with you to understand your needs and provide the right solution using one of our three services:
We have an established presence in the interim actuarial support market and our clients trust us to provide exceptional people. This usually involves providing skilled individuals for project work, but we can also cover absence, vacancy, backfills, or short-term help to mitigate BAU pressures.
Our people become integral members of your teams quickly and add value by identifying improvements to processes and implementing them with your approval. We treat each project with care: we have a clear understanding of all our actuaries’ experience and skills, and ensure we assign the right person to each role.
Our consulting service benefits from our breadth and depth of experience. We seek to lift the burden from you by delivering a solution which meets your objectives. We do this by building a team with the appropriate mix of skills and seniority to develop the right solution for you, shaping the project to meet your objectives. This can include thought leadership, advice and identifying potential risks and pinch-points, working with you to agree the project scope. During implementation and reporting, we keep you updated as we recognise the importance of good communication.
We have developed our own market-leading training programme, which equips our staff with the actuarial, technology and soft skills they need for success. We also make our training available to our clients’ staff, who will then benefit in the same way from our adaptable and highly-interactive training approach.
The cornerstone of our services is our people. Clients trust us to provide high-quality staff equipped with the right skills to contribute meaningfully from day one.
We are highly selective in our hiring, accepting less than 1% of the 800+ individuals who typically apply to us each year. We have fine-tuned our recruitment process to select staff who have the right attributes to contribute to clients from day one thus ensuring we maintain high professional standards within our team.
Our heavy investment in the training and development of our people is evident in many ways, including:
- Junior actuarial staff undergo six weeks of intense, interactive training, widely regarded market-leading.
- Robust study support for the actuarial exams resulting in exam passes which are consistently well above the industry average.
- Gold certification from Investors in People, providing external assurance of our strong training and development culture.
- Across 200 client responses collected in 2024 and 2025, 85% of our staff were rated as exceeding expectations.
Our extensive technical library covers the foundations of actuarial work, modelling software, and insights to the insurance market and regulatory environment. Our team has exceptional core ability in Excel, VBA, SQL, R, Python and widely used industry software including Prophet, RAFM, MG-ALFA, Mo.net, Tyche and hx Renew. Collectively, our team also has a deep understanding of the regulatory and competitive landscape.
Soft skills are a key differentiator of our staff. You can expect our staff to build strong relationships, communicate effectively and quickly embed themselves in your team.
We are committed to the continual development of our staff. We provide staff with training budgets, encouraging their natural intellectual curiosity and providing them with access to training which focuses on client needs and emerging industry themes. This has resulted in an agile staff team who are able to add value in new areas of work.
