Neil Eldred
Neil Eldred is the reception manager at ETC. He is an oasis of calm and is always willing to help with any problem you may have. But what really lies behind the friendly face (and beard) of ETC’s most helpful member of staff?
What is your greatest love outside ETC?
“Kylie Minogue. But Portsmouth Football Club would be a close second.”
Why Portsmouth?
“You don’t choose your club; it’s forced upon you at an early age. You can change your house or change your wife but you can never change your club.”
Do you attend every home match? 
“Absolutely, I have my season ticket and go to every match without fail.”
What really annoys you?
“Constant interruptions at work, except of course if it’s a student! I must be in the wrong job!”
I’ll be off in a minute then, what about people in history,
who do you think you have the most in common with?
“Well, as a personality I’m not really sure, but by name it could well be Ethelred the Unready, the King of England in the 10th century. He wasn’t really unready or a bad king as the name implies, he just didn’t have any advisors to help him with his job!”
Which person from history do you most admire?
“The Greek philosopher, Homer J Simpson.”
“Quick question Cats or Dogs?”
“Dogs every time. Cats are too independent; give me a big slobbery, tail-wagging Labrador any day!”
Sunsets or sunrises?
“Sunrises. Get up, get on with the day and beat the rush!”
