Announcing Ella Grant as Managing Director

Advice Cloud are happy to announce our very own Ella Grant as Managing Director. With current MD Chris Farthing taking a new CEO role, it’s an exciting chapter for the AC team!

After graduating university with a Masters in Environment, Development & Policy, Ella came to Advice Cloud in 2017. Originally joining as an Operations Assistant, she has worked tirelessly to help Advice Cloud’s clients with their public sector procurement needs. Picking up Sussex Graduate of the Year at the Sussex Business Awards, Ella took over as Client Delivery Manager not long after.

She has since guided her Client Delivery team to great success, working with many heavy frameworks including Network Services and Data & Applications Solutions, as well as many others.

Ella says of her new role:

“I’m totally thrilled to be the new Managing Director of Advice Cloud. It’s an incredible opportunity and I’m very grateful for all the support I’ve received since joining the company!

The AC Team is full of future leaders. We’re a young team on average, with aligned beliefs that see us determined to support the creation of wider social value from public services, through the effective use of technology. The complicated world of procurement can unnecessarily act as a barrier to this – we’ve made it our mission to make it easier for both Buyers and Suppliers.

With tons of ideas about how we can support our clients to be successful, my main goal is to continue creating a space for creativity and innovation so that the AC Team can imagine and test new ways of supporting the digital transformation of the public sector – and to have fun while doing it!”

So, here’s a big congratulations to Ella as we look forward to the exciting times ahead!
