Director of Corporate Services

Elkie joined the Loreburn family in 2018, initially working as a member of the Management Team. Most recently, she began working in the Executive Team as Loreburn’s Interim Director of Corporate Services.


A strong believer that variety is the spice of life, Elkie thoroughly enjoys her new position on the team. Covering areas from from Organisational Development, Employee Engagement and HR to Health & Safety and Governance.  Elkie is a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD and serves as a Trustee for Dumfries Advocacy Service, her passion for making a positive difference in the community greatly compliments and shows through in her work

Elkie believes that the flexible and collaborative approach to working at Loreburn is what makes working there so enjoyable. Although the workforce is dispsersed across the region, it really does feel like a close-knit organisation.

When away from work, Elkie spends her free time with her wonderful family and pets. An animal lover, Elkie’s weekends are spent walking her beagles and looking after the family pony.
