Melissa is the PA to the Board at NNL and also supports a number of executives and will soon move into recruitment at NNL.
Mel lives in Leigh with her husband Kieron and dog Bruce and is a fan of all things sports related – she holds a season ticket for Wigan Warriors – Rugby League. She even played for Wigan Athletic Ladies football team when she was younger.
She studied at Westleigh High School in Lancashire and then went to St Mary’s Sixth Form College in Manchester, being the only one from her school. She claimed she had the best two years of her life here, finding her confidence and meeting lots of friends similar to her.
Mel then went onto work at UK Mail in a customer service and data input role. In the middle of 2013, she was made redundant.
Next in her career, she found employment at NNL in the Business Services team. Mel then became a PA for one of executives after being approached by the HR and Strategic Director. She began this role part time to test the water and naturally really enjoyed it and began working full time within this role. She then started looking after the board, learning everything from scratch, making the role her own.
Mel has now picked up even more roles and is now interviewing and recruiting people and helping with their onboarding.
