Hello, I’m Lauren

I started out in hospitality, then in 2005 moved into aviation, assisting passengers who needed extra help, including out on the apron getting people on and off aircraft. In 2014 I joined Virgin Atlantic as a Senior Agent, welcoming customers, meeting flights and solving problems as they arose. Since Covid, I joined Lancing College and then moved into retail.

I have noticed how many people struggle with shopping, how lonely some feel, and how worried others are about leaving their home and pets while they’re away. That’s why I started Keys: to support people discreetly, so they can live more independently.
