Elliot Mace Head of Sales

Elliot leads our sales team from the front, a true player-manager. Elliot joined Solar in 2001, starting as a trainee field sales rep and ever since has been heavily instrumental in the success of the business. Extensive product knowledge and a real passion for delivering business improvement, through communications solutions, is at the heart of the way Elliot operates. Elliot lives in Portishead, just outside Bristol and is married with two young sons. When not focussing on making sure our customers are delighted with us, Elliot can be found on a tennis court, on a golf course or trying to avoid DIY.
