The judges said that “Laura is clearly a manager that makes a difference! A big personality that touches staff and customers alike and delivers outstanding results in within the business at all levels”
Laura’s achievements are even more remarkable given that she started her self storage journey as a sales consultant at the same store and is now leading staff across the organisation.

Clear metrics show the inflection point from when she joined and started having a major impact on the business. She has taken ownership and shown fantastic entrepreneurial spirit to drive several initiatives that have driven awareness of the business and product.
