I joined Harvey Lawrence in 2007 and I have been mainly focused on recruiting in the Manchester market in the last few years, placing both permanent and temporary staff. I am fiercely committed to offering the best possible recruitment service.
Before joining Harvey Lawrence, I spent twelve years in financial services which gave me a strong background in business and dealing with compliance, customer service and reporting. Overall I feel my work history has given me a deep understanding of what good customer service should feel like.
