Elliot’s role at De Montfort University (DMU) is to lead the Future Students department, created in 2024, which oversees the UK and International Admissions, Schools Liaison, Widening Access and Enquiries functions at the University. Prior this role, Elliot worked at the University of Leicester for 11 years in student recruitment and outreach positions. Elliot, up until recently, also chaired the Education theme within the Universities Partnership, the civic university agreement between DMU, University of Leicester and Loughborough University.

For his sins, he’s also running the London Marathon in April 2026 so if anyone wants a leisurely run around Liverpool during the Conference, reach out!
