John M A Seigel
Managing Director and Employment Law Division Director

The founder of Lloyds, John was educated at The Kings School in Gloucester and opened his first business at the age of 21. Since then John has started and run a number of successful companies, all providing support services to other industries. Lloyds Employment Law Consultancy Ltd, founded in 1998, was the natural successor to Lloyds Employment Law Seminars Ltd because as John says, “Delegates always needed more help than could be offered in a single day. It made sense to expand the delivery of real help to a 365 day a year service, and that is what we did.” John’s ethos is simple. Old fashioned personal service coupled with the most up to date knowledge and expertise, delivered in the most efficient way possible. “When we say we’ll help, you don’t need to worry. We will help. On time, every time.”
