Chris Haran

Branch Manager

I have worked at Meridian for six years over two separate periods of employment, and I am now the Branch Manager for our Middlesbrough branch. Before Meridian, I graduated from Huddersfield University and worked in Retail for nearly 10 years selling computers and electrical equipment. I decided to take the plunge over 11 years ago to work in recruitment, and now for Meridian, which is such a family-oriented environment.

I started recruitment in Leeds over 11 years ago, working for Randstad CPE doing a blue-collar construction desk. Recruitment isn’t a job for the faint-hearted and you are only as good as your last month/year. The most I enjoy about recruitment is the fast-paced day-to-day part and having different challenges to overcome all of the time, Over time it certainly makes you thick-skinned.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two children going on new adventures, I enjoy running long distance and I also love football, especially watching Leeds United!
