Testimonials
“Elinor blends thoughtfulness, efficiency and imagination to provide an exceptional service. She is meticulous, reliable and kind and manages to give the impression of being both “present” and “virtual”. Somehow she is able to be at the end of email or text or telephone call at any time of the day and always to respond with understanding, patience and whatever one needs. She is genuinely interested in the work we do and has an astonishing memory for names and the preferences and needs of people from all over the world. I am very grateful to her for all she does to support me and my work and for all the “extra miles” she has gone for me.”
Prof. Gillian Stamp, Bioss the Foundation
“Elinor has been utterly reliable, flexible to my needs, and somehow perfectly combines a professional and personal touch. She enables me to spend more time on the things that I value, such that my work life and home life have both benefitted tremendously.”
Prof. Hannah Cock BSc MD FRCP
Professor of Epilepsy & Medical Education, Consultant Neurologist
“Elinor knows and understands the needs of the Chairman and that of the London Branch. She is very capable, incredibly efficient and personable with it. Sometimes she reads my mind; sometimes she will suggest something that either improves or makes what I want more easily achievable. When I explain something new, or when I want things done in a particular way, she makes it happen. She takes the initiative when interfacing with the various external people that we need to deal with so I am presented with the end result without having to get involved in the basic organisation, all because her system works. Most importantly she makes the London Branch Committee and its members all feel important and looked after.”
Chairman, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, London Branch.
“Elinor has been our Secretary for Legal Netlink Alliance´s European Section for over 10 years. LNA Europe rely on Elinor to look after its member administration, as well as to prepare, arrange and support the general meetings held twice a year in varying locations all over Europe. She updates our website content, organises Board calls and meetings, and in general assists the Board and all our worldwide members in matters and queries of any kind. We value Elinor as truly trustworthy, reliable and committed, and – next to her professional capabilities – highly appreciate her likeable personality and her upbeat manner. No job is too small and her steadfast “can do”- attitude helps us tremendously in keeping LNA as the successful and efficient network that it is. She is an absolute pleasure to work with.”
Albrecht Prestel, President, Legal Netlink Alliance Europe

She has become a core member of the team and a friend to all of us. The ebrain project owes its success to her dedication, commitment and reliability which are truly outstanding. We have no hesitation at all in recommending her.”
Simon Thomson, Clinical Lead, ebrain
“I was introduced to Elinor by a colleague, to help us schedule meetings on a joint project more effectively. This is not something that Elinor has ever done for us, but what Elinor has done for me has been transformational! I wish I had met her years ago, decades ago as the support she has provided me from both a business and personal perspective has been invaluable. Elinor is able to take on any task I ask her to and almost without pause on most occasions, have it done. I am increasingly delegating the parts of my work and my life that I am capable of doing, but don’t enjoy, find time-consuming, frustrating or simply take some focus and concentration that I am not able to give. She is a delight to work with, because of her years of experience, nothing seems to phase her and her approach and manner is calm, gentle and good-humoured. I can’t imagine being able to function as well without her now and as my business grows over the next few years, I only see more scope for Elinor to provide the kind of professional support that I have come to value so highly. She is a gem!”
Georgia Parker, Founder, Whole Spectrum
“Elinor has been the administrator for the Association of London Welsh Lawyers since 2017. In that time, she has proved herself to be very professional, efficient and friendly. We rely on Elinor to look after the membership, keep membership matters up to date, and organise and assist with hosting our social events. Elinor is the first point of contact for our members and she performs her role with enthusiasm and skill. She is a pleasure to work with and we recommend her highly.”
Emyr Thomas, Association of London Welsh Lawyers
“Elinor is my PA and is a vital part of my business. She is creative, thoughtful, super-efficient and supportive.”
Richard Green, Horton Cole, Construction and Project Management Consultancy
“Elinor is an excellent administrator and keeps us in order, up to speed and is highly efficient. As important is her amiable character which makes it a pleasure for us to work with her. Elinor is unflappable and the bigger the load and larger the number of “personalities” she has to deal with, the calmer she is in sorting us all out. As the old adage goes, if you want something done efficiently and promptly, you ask the busiest person you know.”
