Elliott Pollard, Managing Partner profile ›
Originally from London, Elliott moved to Somerset and then to Bournemouth in his early teens, where he attended Canford School in Wimborne. Since then he has accrued 30 years of local estate agency experience and founded Mays with Vanessa over 25 years ago.
Elliott has a real passion for estate agency and is actively involved on a day to day basis. He is a strong believer in honesty and integrity. His sales ability and experience has led him to consult successfully for many developers and builders, both local and national, and he is often asked to give his judgment about the viability of development sites.
Elliott is a keen sportsman and plays squash, tennis and golf as often as possible, juggling these alongside family life with Vanessa and their son. -

His personal approach and intelligent way of working quickly established him as the top selling estate agent in Bournemouth and Poole. He is one of the most proactive people you could ever meet and his drive to sell property along with his negotiating expertise is unsurpassed. When he's not working (which is rare), he likes to keep fit in the gym and visit his wife's family in Seville.

Hugo the Dog, Stress Management Consultant profile ›
With a successful pedigree in both tail wagging and enthusiastic greetings, it was clear it would only be a matter of time before Hugo brought these skills to the property industry. Maintaining a 'Regal Air', Hugo successfully navigates the demands of office life and provides a high degree of the therapy to both members of the team and visitors alike. When not supporting the team, the infamous Hugo can be seen hanging out at the Jazz Cafe, playing to his usual crowd of admirers.
