Payroll Guru & Office Butler Extraordinaire

James is our payroll guru with a raft of professional strengths that mean he is incredibly valued by our team and our clients. His reliability and resilience ensure all deadlines are hit, regardless of how challenging they are – a vital skill when you’re in charge of paying people’s wages!

A whizz at explaining things clearly and concisely, James is our pro-communicator, keeping everyone informed and up to date. Married to our co-founder and Director, Michelle, his calm communication skills are appreciated when translating Michelle’s 100mph brain dumps.

Proud of what Ellacott Morris has become and keen to support its growth and progression further, James is excited to see what the future holds.

A lover of ball sports, mainly golf and football (which Michelle states he’s no good at), James is the Ellacott Morris party animal, looking for any excuse to get the party started!
