Meet Laura: Our Finance Manager, who’s been “accounting” for success at The Bench for the past five years, building on 15+ years of expertise in bookkeeping and accounting.

Based in the picturesque Norfolk countryside, Laura brings her passion for numbers - and for being involved in every aspect of the business - to everything she does. Outside of work, she’s either baking up brownies, crafting Instagram-worthy cheese boards, or curled up by the fire with a thrilling murder mystery and her trusty sidekick, Michael the cat.

A self-proclaimed antiques enthusiast, Laura loves transforming secondhand treasures into stylish additions for her home - though her other half is often left wondering what “accounts” for the latest makeover!

Fun fact: Laura’s love for Norfolk’s coastline is rivaled only by her knack for finding the perfect country pub. Brownies, books, and balance sheets—she’s got it all covered!
