About Claire Lockey

Claire was first appointed to the Board in July 2024.

Claire was part of the executive team within Lowes for two years where she initially applied her project management expertise across several existing initiatives in the business, she then moved on to lead on all transformation activities in her role as Operational Change Manager before being appointed as Operations Director.

With a vast corporate background across multiple sectors including banking, utilities and transport, Claire has been involved in the delivery of major changes such as the HBOS merger, transition of Npower to Eon, and funding governance for HS2. As such she brings extensive skills and knowledge in project management, continuous improvement, lean methodology and process redesign, which stands her in good stead for driving efficiency, client centricity and a culture of excellence throughout Lowes.

“I thoroughly enjoyed my previous corporate roles; advancing my knowledge, gaining new qualifications, delivering some fantastic changes and meeting many inspirational people. It is a privilege to now utilise my skills to support Lowes with achieving their goals and objectives. Ironically, it’s been 30 years since I gained my degree in financial analysis just a few miles from the office and it now feels like I am home!”

When Claire is not working to transform the business, she enjoys spending time with her six children and in particular supporting them with their numerous sporty hobbies.
