Laura delivered a brilliant training session for my team, covering all aspects of her role from giving valuable insights into the personal finance world to holding a ‘press release clinic’ where the team could see examples of good and bad press releases from the journalist’s perspective, and work towards the perfect content. Laura’s energy was infectious and the team felt encouraged to ask questions and get involved in activities. Everyone really enjoyed the session and felt like they learnt a lot, so I would highly recommend Laura’s services.

I have the pleasure of dealing with many financial journalists in my business life. Some are brilliant, some could do better. The thing for me about Laura is that she is not only well informed, she is passionate and cares - especially for the end customer. That means a lot to me.
