Back to meet the team

Consultant

Hi, I'm Emily and I'm a Consultant at Harvey Nash, based in Manchester.
I currently work within the IT recruitment team, specialising in contract roles across the Northwest.
Example roles I recruit for include:
<ul>
<li>Project Manager</li>
<li>Business Analyst</li>
<li>Programme Manager</li>
<li>Operation Delivery Provider&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
I graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a Philosophy and Politics degree in 2020, I have a wealth of customer facing experience, with recruitment being a natural next step.
Outside of work I love exploring Manchester to find the best bars and restaurants. I have a food blog which I started in lockdown 2020 where I post all my food recipes! I'm very social and love travelling with my partner.&nbsp;
The best piece of advice I've ever been given is, "Don't let yesterday take up too much of today."
