Laura speaks at conferences, panels and events on recruitment, the manufacturing skills shortage, and why the industry needs to change.
What Laura speaks about
Laura is a candid, practical speaker who pulls no punches about an industry she loves but believes is losing its way. Her talks are built on 26 years of doing the work, not theory.
Why the UK's engineering talent gap is really a handover failure, and what businesses can do about it before the next generation retires out.
The case for exclusive, ethical recruitment, no upfront fees, no racing agencies, and why it produces better hires that actually stay.
Why hiring senior leaders for how they fit the room you have is a mistake, and how to hire for the room they will go on to build.
How to get young people to see manufacturing and engineering as the clean, technical, exciting careers they actually are.
