She first joined the office in March 2020 as the Business Development Manager, and has been instrumental in the company’s subsequent growth in the town and surrounding area.

Elaine has worked all her life in professional services in the Bournemouth area and is a familiar face in the local business scene through being an Ambassador for the Dorset Chamber of Commerce.

She comments: “I am a Dorset girl through and through and am delighted to have been appointed a director of our local office. I am looking forward to continuing to work closely with the Antony Batty team to grow the business and help distressed businesses find the best solution to their problems.”

She has a passion for helping and advising directors of businesses that are facing difficulties. Above all, she knows that a friendly face is as important as anything else during such times. We look forward to her leading the business forwards.”
