Elliott has been my Account Manager at Vouchercloud for the past 6 months. And honestly couldn't fault him. One of his achievements whilst working with us, was changing the perception amongst internal staff around promoting 'gambling' brands such as ourselves to their audience. This has been a game changer and has opened up many doors in the affiliate space, as promoting such brands has been frowned upon in the market.

It has been a pleasure working with Elliott over the past year. He was focused on the performance of our partnership and how we could work to improve sales together whilst understanding the constraints and our business model. I hope our paths cross again in the future.

I've had the pleasure of working with Elliott for some time now - it's safe to say he's one of the most ambitious, enthusiastic and driven sales people I've seen in a long time, and a valuable asset to a team. Hard working, "can do" attitude and a maturity that's beyond his years. I hope to continue working with him for a long time.......

I was one of the first people to raise my hand and become part of a team to put together a video which shows time lapses of the building being re-structured, interviews of people talking about the youth centre and others explaining the process.
