Laura is a true professional. She strikes the perfect balance of supporting and challenging you at the same time. Having experienced Executive Search headhunters previously, what really makes Laura stand out is that she genuinely cares for her candidate, the role and the business she is working on behalf on. This seems like a simple point, but her authenticity and passion shines through at every step. I would wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone looking for or being approached by her for a new role.

It continues to grow alongside the growth in the population and therefore requires a significant volume of employees in the UK. It does represent under 1% of the workforce in the country but provides essential services for the nation and economy.

The utilities sector is not alone in implementing AI across its business to increase efficiency and be competitive.
