Laura Modica has been working at
Markon since September 2023, initially
in the Planing Of昀椀ce helping with
administrative duties, before moving
into the Accounts Of昀椀ce as Invoice
Assistant.
Laura commented, “I thoroughly enjoy
working for Markon and feel I can be my
unique self. I work with people from all
different departments and from the moment
I stepped through the doors, I’ve felt super
supported and welcomed, and I couldn’t be happier.”
Laura is part of the Anathallo Theatre Group, an
amateur dramatic theatre group based in Glasgow,
where a close bunch of friends came together
through their love of musicals and theatre to bring a
little magic to the local community.
In December 2024, they showcased their Panto,
Aladdin, which was a huge hit, and they are now
working on a Glasgow themed showcase which will
tie in with the Glasgow 850 celebrations.

Laura is engaged to Stacy, they have a son together

with musical theatre, Laura’s other hobbies include
archery, painting, and tarot readings.
