Amber Barry

About the Candidate

I have over a decade of experience in organising events and recruiting for some of the world’s most well known brands, agencies and charities.

After completing my HND in Events Management at Leeds Beckett University I went straight out into the events world working across a wide range of events for a few years. In 2014, I found myself living in Dubai as Cabin crew for Emirates. Once the novelty of travelling wore off, I headed back to UK and where I landed a role helping to support the Manchester United and AON sponsorship. I soon developed the urge for big city life, so off I went to London, where I delivered numerous corporate and charity events. In 2018, personal circumstances brought me back up North, and yes, I fell into recruitment. I started off at ITV as a Talent Assistant and climbed the ladder to Manager, recruiting for Coronation Street and Emmerdale. 2019 saw me headhunted by the BBC to work within Talent at their Children’s and Education department. As much as I love the people element of recruitment, events has always been my calling, so, in 2019 I started my self-employment journey.
