We’re thrilled to welcome Alan to the leadership team; knowing he will be instrumental in the next stage of the business’s journey. We’re ambitious and are establishing Elevate UK as a leading medium-sized business and fin-tech employer of choice.

I look forward to bringing my experience and expertise to an organisation that encourages collaborative, innovative thinking and has true clarity on its purpose and vision.”
