Meet the Team: Laura, Sales Account Manager at Stocksigns
Say hello to Laura- our brilliant Sales Account Manager here at Stocksigns! She’s the friendly voice at the end of the phone, the problem-solver for our customers, and someone who knows a thing or two about keeping projects running smoothly.
Life at Stocksigns
Laura spends her days looking after customer accounts, developing new business, and working with the wider team to make sure we’re always improving our offerings. No two days are ever the same for her. One moment she’s quoting and booking orders, the next she’s on a site visit or chatting with customers about upcoming projects.
One project she’s especially proud of is her contribution to wayfinding in high-rise buildings, rolled out after the Grenfell tragedy and changes in legislation. Knowing her work has helped make buildings safer is something that makes her job feel truly meaningful.
What keeps it exciting?
The variety.
Laura works with such a broad customer base that she’s always meeting people from new industries, keeping every day fresh and interesting.
Career Journey
Laura didn’t set out to work in sales in fact, she started her career in PA and admin roles after college. But during lockdown she was thrown off her tracks, a referral brought her to Stocksigns, and it turned out to be the perfect fit. Her role calls on her social skills and her knack for organisation, and she’s embraced the challenge head-on.
Since joining, she says the biggest skill she’s developed is resilience. Sales can be a rollercoaster, but Laura’s learned to keep going and grafting, no matter the setbacks.
She also loves working with her teammates:
“Stocksigns has a really varied team, from Sales to Marketing, Accounts, Graphics and Production, so I really enjoy working with such a mix of people.”
Fun Facts About Laura
Here are some Fun facts about Laura:
- She only learned to swim at the age of 30 – proving it’s never too late to conquer a fear!
- If money were no object, she’d love to be an antiques dealer. (She blames watching too much Only Fools and Horses for that one – but really, she just loves hunting down treasures in vintage shops and car boots!)
- She’s got three bucket lists on the go:
- People to see live – and yes, she has tickets to see Oasis in September!
- City breaks – because what better way to see the world while working full time?
- UK pubs – which she rates based on the quality of their Guinness. (Now that’s dedication to research).
When she’s not working, you’ll probably find her curled up with a good book, watching a gritty crime drama, or rewatching Only Fools and Horses. To unwind, she loves nothing more than a podcast-fuelled walk through the Kent countryside.
