Laura left Spain seven years ago to begin her journey in the United Kingdom. After moving to Bournemouth, she spent one year studying English. Laura was then awarded a scholarship to be one of fifteen students given the chance to study at the Peter Jones Academy. The course gave Laura the skills and confidence to write detailed business plans, approach suppliers and investors and pitch to a board of investors, Dragons´ Den style…and to meet Peter Jones! Thanks to the skills gained at the academy, Laura launched her own wine importing business, importing wines from Galicia, her community in Spain.

Laura joined Hume Whitehead at the beginning of 2018 and has hit the ground running! Her language skills are already proving to be extremely useful with Spanish speaking clients, as she is completely fluent in Spanish, English and Galician!

At Hume Whitehead, Laura works on the NH Hotel Group, Visit Indonesia Tourism Officer and Macao Government Tourism Office accounts, while also providing support to other clients.
