At work

Ellie has more than 10 years’ experience in financial services, with much of her career spent in Compliance. A significant part of this time was spent at an investment platform, where she progressed from Compliance Analyst to Compliance Analyst Team Leader, gaining valuable experience in regulation, operations and client service.

In her role at Cadence, she provides administrative and operational support to the financial planning team. She works closely with clients, product providers, third-party administrators and other external parties to help progress client matters efficiently and ensure a seamless experience throughout their financial planning journey.

In Ellie's spare time

Outside of work, Ellie enjoys spending quality time with her husband, Toby, and their children, Lily and Harvey. Their family also includes Luna, their dog. Whether it’s family days out or long walks with Luna, Ellie loves making the most of her time outdoors.

Ellie is passionate about health and fitness and enjoys keeping active through gym workouts, spin classes and running. During the Covid pandemic, she completed a short online course in Nutrition and Health which further fuelled her interest in wellbeing. More recently, she’s caught the running bug and has even signed up for her first marathon!

Of course, life is all about balance. Ellie is a real foodie. And while she enjoys keeping fit, she also appreciates the occasional glass of wine and making time to relax.

Get to know Ellie

On an ideal weekend, you can find me...

My ideal weekend would probably start with a lie-in, although with two young children those days are few and far between! These days, a perfect weekend involves a family dog walk with Luna, ideally including a pub stop, followed by a cosy evening relaxing with my husband once the children are in bed.

My favourite song to play in the car is...

I’d like to say something cool and sophisticated, but the reality is that my car is usually filled with Hey Duggee and Moana songs. When I manage to reclaim the playlist, it’s anything by Taylor Swift.

If I could be any fictional character, I would be...

Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl – stylish, organised and always one step ahead.

When the dessert menu arrives, I'm looking for...

Sticky Toffee Pudding – although with a huge sweet tooth, narrowing it down to just one dessert is never easy!

My favourite holiday destination is...

Greece!

The three small things that make my day better are:

A cuddle from my children, a new running PB and a really good meal.

Three things I haven't done so far include:

Run a marathon (yet!), kept a garden plant alive for more than 6 months, and travelled to Italy.
