Katie Elliott

Katie Elliott

Project Manager

Katie pairs deep expertise in environmental sustainability with hands-on entrepreneurial know-how. After earning a DipHE in Environmental Sciences and an OCN Level 3 in Business Development, she launched her own refill shop - one of the first in her area. She then built a career spanning retail, sales, marketing, and social media content creation, growing both the business and her own skillset. The venture soon branched into community eco-events and led to the creation of a sister company delivering sustainability training, reporting, and strategy for corporate clients. A natural community-builder, Katie loves bringing entrepreneurs together, sharing hard-won lessons, and championing inclusive growth at every stage of the business journey. She is eager to share her knowledge and experience with entrepreneurs, wherever they are on their journey.
