During her tenure, Laura set up the Outline Wales office and launched a mentoring scheme across the Tin Roof Media Group.

Currently a non-executive director of Elstree Film Studios, Laura was a member of Pact Council between 2012 and 2016, and its Chair from 2014 to 2016. She also served as an advisory board member of the Indie Training Fund (2012-2014).
