About Laura
With a background spanning lighting and stone benchtops, Laura brings a practical, hands-on understanding of how materials work in real spaces — and what designers and specifiers actually need to make confident decisions.
Since joining the Progressive Materials team, Laura has quickly become a familiar and reliable face across the specification community. She’s a natural people person — the kind who remembers your project details, follows through without being chased, and makes the whole process feel a lot less complicated than it sometimes is.
