ABOUT ELEMENTAL

Elemental was established in 2011 to offer specialist corporate services. We addressed a gap in the UK market for a provider who could bring together select functions of large professional services firms and deliver them in a more efficient and personalised way.

Today, Elemental is a multi-award-winning boutique professional services firm. The Chartered Governance Institute named us Service Provider of the Year in 2021 and 2022, we are the only firm to have won twice. We carry out premium work not often expected from of a firm of our size and you will get exposure to clients and their boards that you would not typically see elsewhere.

Today, we are a leading UK specialist of integrated legal, corporate secretarial, governance, accounting and tax advisory services. We work for US Law firms, Magic Circle Law firms and Top Tier City Law firms, as well as their clients, listed organisations and private companies.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Elemental is expanding its team and is seeking to recruit a new member of our Company Secretarial team.
