Laura Lucking

Laura joined the NAO in February 2025 in a job-share with Verity Prime. Laura and Verity are responsible for overseeing our work on areas including infrastructure, transport, major projects, defence, energy and net zero.

Laura and Verity have worked as a job-share since 2020. Together they have worked in a range of roles in government departments and arms-length bodies, leading on issues as diverse as the distribution of National Lottery grants, Covid response and health policy. Before joining the NAO, they were the Directors for Funding Strategy, Communications and Impact at the National Lottery Community Fund. 

Before working with Verity, Laura built a range of experience working on policy and operational delivery in HMRC, the Home Office and the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Laura is driven by a passion for supporting public services to be more effective in their delivery for people, and leading teams to deliver outstanding work.
