North West HR specialist, P3 People Management, has appointed a new consultant to join its growing team.

Emma Weeks, from Salford, has joined the Altrincham based P3 team following 20 years working within HR roles, largely in the travel and tourism industry but also within legal services and public services.

P3 People Management is a specialist outsourced HR provider which supports small and medium sized businesses across the North West to increase their profits by focussing on the support, development and performance of their people.

Emma joins the P3 team at an important time for its clients as they begin to adapt to life post pandemic, when businesses are realising the importance of prioritising the wellbeing and development of their workforce in order to engage, motivate and retain them.

After graduating from Sheffield Hallam University in 2000 with a degree in tourism management, Emma joined a graduate training scheme within the hotel industry, where she had her first taste of HR.

In 2008, Emma joined the Emirates HR team and moved to Dubai where she spent seven years supporting its cabin crew and corporate staff as well as travelling around the far east and Africa. On her return to Manchester, Emma worked in various HR roles for Thomas Cook Airlines and Flybe, as well as with the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and law firm, BLM Law.

Emma specialises in employee relations, policy review and change management and is looking forward to getting stuck into her new role. She said: “I enjoy working with a variety of clients within different sectors and industries as each has its own particular HR challenges. The variety is also a brilliant way of developing my own skills and experiences too. I am really excited to join the P3 team and I’m looking forward to working with a wide range of businesses to help them to understand the importance of prioritising their people in order to achieve growth and success.”

Charlotte Dean, founder and managing director of P3 People Management, said: “Emma has a huge amount of experience working in some really challenging sectors and we are delighted to have her on board. Her professional knowledge and personal experiences will be a real asset to our team and to our clients.”
