Bio
Elliot Williams
I had the pleasure of being Matt's volunteer line manager in my previous role as Deputy Superintendent (Events). Matt is an innovative and capable team member who always engaged with issues in an iconoclastic way, giving everyone in the team the opportunity to revisit old dogmatic processes and analyse if they still held value. Matt is a forward thinking problem-solver who is best suited to roles requiring innovation and reform, as this is where he will truly reach his full potential. It was a pleasure to work with Matt and not only would I highly recommend him for employment to any interested party, I would happily appoint Matt into a position working in my team if the opportunity presented itself.
