Gary Moore - Interim CEO
I have worked for ELF since 2017 in the fundraising department. My main focus is collaborating with local businesses to establish ways that together, we can fund more support for local families whilst helping local businesses achieve their CSR goals.
Previously working in the sales and events industry, I want to use my experience in raising money to benefit those in our community who need it the most. If you would like to discuss partnering with Exeter Leukaemia Fund, please get in touch as I’d love to catch up over a coffee.
Outside of work, I have an interest in football and spending time with my family.
Gen Ottaway - Head of Patient Services
I have just joined ELF in February 2026. My mission is to support the fantastic services offered by the ELF team of staff and volunteers to Haematology patients and their families; I will also be a bridge between the hard-working NHS staff and ELF. I plan to spend three days each week based in the ELF office in RD&E’s Yarty Ward, so that I can be on hand to answer queries about ELF services.
In addition, I’m looking at ways to improve the services that ELF offer, and to investigate new services that would be of use, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, please do get in touch.
I previously worked for ten years on the admin team of a GP practice, organising care for patients with long-term conditions.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading and walking by the sea (simultaneously if possible!) and spending time with family.
Andy Jordan - Development Manager
I was an ELF volunteer for several years, representing the charity at presentations and assisting at events, before officially joining the team in 2018. My role involves working with the local community and helping supporters achieve their fundraising goals. No two days are the same; I could be giving a talk about ELF at a school assembly, visiting a club or group to thank them for their donation or be working with an organisation planning a challenge event. I also manage our volunteers, and it is always a pleasure watching them interact with the public whilst raising money or awareness for a cause that they passionately believe in.
I am always on hand to encourage and direct supporters with their fundraising so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have an idea you wish to discuss.
I enjoy travelling, weekends away and camping trips in the beautiful West Country (when the weather allows!)
David Williams - Hospital Support Senior Driver
I joined ELF in 2013 when the transport service was introduced and have been a patient support driver ever since. I am now the Senior driver for our fantastic team of three. We feel extremely privileged to be in our role, supporting patients and their family members with the demands of their many hospital appointments.
My interests are foreign holidays, snorkelling, hiking, kayaking and the gym.
Pete Aggett - Hospital Support Driver
I joined ELF as a Patient Support Driver in February 2017. It is a really rewarding job, helping to coordinate and provide Haematology patients and their families from all over Devon with transport to and from Hospital during a tough time in their lives. I especially like being part of a close, friendly, helpful team at ELF.
I am a keen runner and have completed a number of runs in aid of ELF, including the London Marathon in 2022. I also enjoy watching most sports and walking my energetic Cocker Spaniel.
Marion Yates - Patient Liaison Support
I first became aware of ELF in 2015 when my Mother was first diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma and I accompanied her to many consultations and treatment in Yarty Day Case. There I saw firsthand the invaluable support ELF provides. A few years after this I began volunteering with ELF and became a befriender to a patient living close by. In June 2022 I officially joined the team and now work as Patient Liaison, based at the Filling Time kiosk located between the haematology and oncology departments. I am here as a friendly face for patients and families - serving refreshments and helping them feel at ease at what can be a challenging time. My role also involves liaising with hospital staff and signposting patients to the support ELF offers.
In my spare time I love reading, spending time with my family and travelling whenever the opportunity arises!

Nicola Payne - Charity Lead Administrator
I joined ELF in December 2024. Prior to that I was in education for 18 years. The ELF team are so dedicated and caring. I am looking forward to putting my organisational skills to good use and helping the team to continue their amazing work.
Outside of ELF, I enjoy sailing, spending time with my family and friends and walking my not so little puppy, Gemma.
