Please welcome Receptionist Ellie!

Ellie has spent her life around horses having grown up on the family farm in Haverfordwest. In fact, she loves all Sport, but has a particular passion for our national sport - rugby (not that any of you needed that clarifying after 'national' and 'sport'!) 🏈

She is also a fluent welsh speaker, so anyone who has a preference for communicating through the medium of welsh; Ellie is your girl!
