Laura is an incredibly passionate, driven and committed professional, and it was a real pleasure working with her during her time at Hilton. I watched Laura grow and develop into a highly accomplished sales leader, combining strong commercial focus with a collaborative, team-oriented approach. Her ability to build meaningful relationships, stay focused on shared goals and consistently deliver results truly set her apart. Laura’s passion and commitment were recognised when she was awarded EMEA Leisure Salesperson of the Year — a well-deserved and highly coveted accolade.
