Bio
👩🏻 Emma Wilson
I met Elliot when he was working in sales and I was working as an outsourced marketing consultant for the same company. From the outside looking in, Elliot is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met. He is charming and puts people at ease very quickly, he makes sure he’s up to date with what’s going on in his industry and the products he’s selling. Not only that he clearly gets a real buzz from helping people, and creating a sense of team within an organisation. Despite being a consultant I was included in all relevant discussions and never felt like an outsider. He knows how to celebrate the wins and take lessons from every experience. He’s an asset to any team.

Throughout my time at Stansons, Elliot has been a fantastic leader. His management and personal coaching skills made me feel confident and comfortable in my new job role from the start. His commitment, enthusiasm and passion for bringing in new business is infectious. He is highly skilled, notably his ability to speak to anyone, build strong relationships with clients, but also put everyone in his team above himself. It has been a pleasure to have Elliot as my manager, and I wish him all the best for the future!
