A CIMA qualified accountant, Caroline Laurie joined the Kingfisher Group in 2005 as a buyer for B&Q, before being promoted to category manager. During her time as category manager Caroline was instrumental in the decision to remove all gas patio heaters from sale across B&Q stores nationwide. In 2012 she was asked to join the company’s new energy saving proposition as a business development manager – designed to help customers reduce their home’s energy use through intelligent product developments and installed solutions. It was then a natural step for Caroline into her current role as Director of Responsible Business at Kingfisher.
