Nathan Beresford He/Him
Executive Researcher
I recently graduated from The University of Sheffield with a master’s degree in Broadcast Journalism. I’ve always wanted to have a job that utilises my research, writing, and critical thinking skills, but also allows me to meet new people and learn about others, so it’s no surprise that I’ve ended up in recruitment!
I started on a short placement here and quickly bonded with everyone in the office, so much so that I was able to continue permanently! Inclusive is known for its positive working culture so it’s a real privilege to be able to start my career here and develop alongside this great team.
