Jan Lochtenberg
Founder & Group Strategy, Varloch Group
Background in stockbroking and operations. Jan runs accounts, contracts, reporting and the systems that hold the trade group together. The transparency layer Varloch clients see — daily logs, time clocks, fortnightly claims against real cost codes — is mostly his work.
Nick Varley and Jan Lochtenberg met playing football. Jan had moved from stockbroking into operations and accounts; they started Varloch in 2020 with the intention of building differently.
Every Varloch project produces a daily log, time-clocked labour, fortnightly claims tied to a real cost-code structure, and an open project management tool the client can see into.
