Elliott founded MFF after the traumatic birth of his daughter and the platform, called the ‘Dad’s version of Mumsnet’ by the BBC, is the online community for dads who want to have more open conversations about fatherhood. Through blogs, podcasts and events, MFF aims to increase positive representation of diverse fatherhood while providing a space and community for dads to share the ups and downs of parenting.
Elliott is also a forward-thinking Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) specialist and is one of the UK’s leading experts on fathers in the workplace.

His first Independent article went viral and was shared 17k times in two days and his latest was even shared on Twitter by none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson!

Andy Stamp
Dad of two children, 6 year old boy and 8 month girl. Family life is really important to me, so gave up a job working in and around London to work in Southampton so that I didn’t have a 3 hour commute several days a week, and could spend more time taking care of my son when he was young. Have been with Carnival for 6 years, working in Finance. I’m currently the Senior Finance Business Partner supporting Donnacha & the Maritime team.
