James Charnock

Hello, I’m James – I’ve worked at the University for 12 years and for the last 3 have been working as Conference Office Sales and Marketing Officer.

I have run hundreds of events whilst I’ve been at the Uni, but took the opportunity two years ago to move into the Sales and Marketing world, which has been a huge learning curve, but also a really exciting time. I get to tell people about the sustainability and CSR work we do here at Manchester Met and also attract bigger and better events to the University – what could be better!

At the moment I’m really excited about our halls of residence. We’ve recently had another 500 en-suite rooms added to our portfolio, and this has meant our ability to run larger residential conferences, summer schools and travel groups has grown massively.

Archway Hall is also the location of our new office. This has meant we’ve got to watch students using the space from the word go, and will also mean we’re right there during the summer when our clients need us!
