Ellie Selby, Global Communications Manager joins Global HR team!

As well as wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, I am pleased to announce that Eleanor Selby will be joining us as the Global Communications Manager on January 6th.

Ellie, as she likes to be known is based in the Hub and, reporting to myself, will become an integral part of our Global HR team connecting with many of you across the business.

Ellie brings a wealth of experience from her professional journey, having worked most recently with Formula E, and prior to that, contributing significantly at Oracle and Burberry. Her background showcases a dynamic blend of national and international communication expertise, accentuated by her strong foundation in digital communication platforms.

Ellie stands out not only for her impressive communication skills but also for her vibrant character. Her experience spans content creation, PR & media relations, and digital communication strategies, enriched by a diverse background in communications and marketing. With her creative flair—evident in her love for drawing and painting— I am confident Ellie will bring a fresh perspective and innovative ideas to her role.

Beyond her professional talents, Ellie enjoys learning languages, specifically Spanish and French, and possesses a contagious energy and drive that we are eager to welcome to our team. Her dynamic approach and eagerness to make an impact from day one promise an exciting new chapter for all of us.  Ellie says:

"I’m really looking forward to joining Colart as Global Communications Manager and getting stuck into the exciting work of sharing our stories with both colleagues and the wider world. With previous experience leading communications strategies at Formula E and Oracle, I’m excited to help showcase the creativity, culture, and values that make Colart so unique. And if anyone ever wants to chat musicals, Strictly Come Dancing, or Bake Off, you know where to find me!"

Please join me in giving Ellie a warm welcome and supporting her as she embarks on this exciting journey with Colart. We look forward to seeing how Ellie’s creativity and enthusiasm will bring a whole new spin to her role and our team.
