Elliot's journey in metal fabrication spans started at his apprenticeship in 2004, where he worked with steel, aluminium and stainless as a fabricator welder on petrol tankers. In 2012 he left New Zealand and his job of 8 years to move to London and fabricate staircases. In 2015, Elliot returned back home and managed a fabrication department of a business, where he brought his knowledge and skill set to the company in order to build numerous staircases and architectural steelwork.​ His experience includes both a fast-paced building environment focused on deadlines, as well as building staircases where attention to detail and precision was needed. Elliot has since combined these two work ethics to team up with Grant and help form the core values of Stairworks. He has made sure that he is involved in each project to deliver the highest quality of metalwork, which is visible in his most challenging job to date, a spiral staircase with a helix core called Kensington Mews.
