Frances Ellison is the IT Business Development Director at CE Rental.

She also was a Pointer prior to the pandemic before taking on her remote role with CE. We caught up with her during a visit to our office last week and talked about her career in the equipment rental industry, with Point of Rental, and what she’s doing at CE.
