“Laura is a diligent and talented journalist and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her extensive experience allows her to easily turn her hand to a huge variety of news and specialist feature pieces within the finance sector. Laura has produced incredibly valuable content for me when I have utilised her freelance talents and I am always impressed at the accuracy and intricacy of her work, her punctuality and her thorough reliability. I have known Laura as a journalist for several years and it is a pleasure to recommend her to anyone.”
“I’ve worked with Laura for nearly a decade now. At the very least, she’s hardworking and tenacious. However, over that time she’s maintained three very distinct characteristics: a fearless streak; an ability to get to the heart of the matter quickly, and a compassion for her audience. Her wins have been hard fought and worthwhile. ”
