Spanish officials honor Hilton Head woman for economic development efforts | islandpacket.com: "Windmill Harbour resident and expatriate Laura Stanbridge sees many similarities between Hilton Head Island and Marbella, Spain, where she has been honored for her efforts to forge international business relations.

Both rely heavily on tourism and real estate industries to drive the local economy, she said.

'Marbella is very similar to Hilton Head. It's a residential-tourism community. ... It has that close-knit community feel, but is welcoming to visitors, which is very similar to Hilton Head.'

Stanbridge, 49, is president of CCG, a firm of accountants, lawyers and payroll specialists based in Marbella. She has been working in southern Spain since 2002 to provide services to Spanish and international companies. She divides her time between Hilton Head, London and Marbella, spending two weeks overseas and then three weeks on Hilton Head, on average.

In October, the Andalusia state government in Spain and the Malaga Chamber of Commerce gave her their top annual awards for her contributions to economic development in the country."
