Emma set up HR Dept Wilmslow in June 2014 having worked within a children’s home business in a HR role beforehand. Emma loves most aspects of HR as you’d probably expect, and one of Emma’s favourite things is getting to know our clients and build long term trusting relationships, understanding their businesses and learning lots by doing so.

Emma also loves working as part of a team having spent seven years working on her own. Having recently acquired HR Dept Trafford & Warrington, Emma is thrilled to now be part of a bigger team of people.
