What their colleagues say
If I was to describe Ellie in three words it would be driven, passionate and dedicated. She has grown from a budding young graduate, into a thriving, incredibly hard-working nutrition professional, who now has confidence and experience to fend for herself, challenge upwards, make key business decisions and take on tasks and projects outside her comfort zone. What makes Ellie special, and worthy of this award, is that her passion for nutrition and enthusiasm shines through in every piece of work she produces. For someone so early in their career, I鈥檓 blown away by the quality of her work and dedication to her job."聽
