“From the day I first met her, Laura impressed and was a supreme pro. She has an amazing sixth sense of what makes an event both look and feel fantastic. This is backed up by some of the best project management skills I've ever come across to make things happen and run like clockwork. Laura also has an impressive more rounded set of skills. She's passionate about the brand and being purpose-driven. Laura also has a very keen eye for detail that comes into its own with budgeting and forecasting. So I would wholeheartedly recommend Laura as think she's one of the best in the business.”

Liam Reynolds - CEO at Silicon Milkroundabout and Brillea

"Laura is a wonderful professional. The majority of the time we worked together was in between events, during which she was always on top of managing what needed to be done for the event, navigating any roadblock or detour with ease. She was always engaging and positive, a joy to work with. For the event I was actively involved in I got to see behind the scenes to a well oiled machine which she was responsible for planning and managing. Her team easily dealt with any problem that came up during a stressful event with over 4000 people. She clearly knows her stuff."

Rob Hudson - Startup Advisor/Founder Gecko Board/Product Manager Silicon Milkroundabout

"What stood out as particularly good about the event? - The organisation, friendly helpful staff"

ASOS

"Amazing team, great atmosphere, was amazed when a team member came over and offered me a sandwich. I probably would have forgotten to eat otherwise."

Decoded

"Laura is an extremely creative, collaborative, dynamic and most importantly organised(!). She's got a wealth of experience and is full of energy and passion and most importantly is an inspiring leader!"

Alice Farmiloe - Digital Editor-in-Chief, Women's Lifestyle Network at Bauer Xcel Media

"I wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the organisation of your event, but mainly with the quality of your team. We came to SMR11 looking to hire a superstar or two of our own, some of the ones I saw were all working for SMR itself! From the friendly welcome, to the care they took of us, and just the odd passing smile, it was a real pleasure to be at your event this weekend, and made missing that stunning weather just a little bit more bearable."

Chris Wallis - CEO at Intruder

"Laura worked at Icon for three years, starting as event coordinator and rising to event producer. During her time she impressed us all, both clients and colleagues, with her positive personality, attention to detail and great enthusiasm for the job. Although the bulk of our events were for big corporate clients with strict brand guidelines, Laura showed a strong design aptitude and brought this to the fore whenever an opportunity presented itself. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hard-working, loyal and multi-skilled professional."

Brian Tennent , Managing Director at Icon

"The organisation. It was perfect, everything from checking in down to clearing up and everything in-between was extremely well thought out!"
