Andrew had a history of recruiting for the business and it is clear to see how this relationship has been maintained. He was very transparent throughout the process, well informed about the role and business, and was quick to act at all times. I would highly recommend Andrew whether recruiting or looking for a role.

Just wanted to say how great your team are. I’ve been working with Gemma for a while now - she’s helped us recruit quite a few instrumental roles. She’s a great asset to the team and has supported me a lot! Appreciate all the support we’ve had from MERJE.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for sourcing such a highly qualified candidate. Securing suitable talent within our “tight“ salary range has proven challenging and your successful placement is greatly appreciated. You nailed it as always!

Gemma listened, understood the brief first time, gave us expert and strategic advice based on her sound understanding of the market and delivered on the ask. Great to work with, felt like she was part of our team. Looking forward to future opportunities to work with each other.

I could not praise the service provided by Andrew and the team enough. Andrew was a huge support during the process - I’m not sure whether I would have been successful without the support and interaction Andrew provided and I would highly recommend him and MERJE.

Gemma made what would normally be a stressful process an absolute breeze. Her understanding and compassion has been second to none.

Jonathan Abelson

I’m a co-founder of MERJE and responsible for the implementation and execution of its overarching business strategy, goals and ambitious growth plan. I also take pride in placing senior finance professionals across the Property sector.

I’m a dedicated husband and father to four kids, as well as two rambunctious dogs who frequently wreak havoc in the Manchester office. I’m a passionate and vocal supporter of Manchester City. My other interests include attending the gym (but going easy on the exercise), holidays and dining at some of Manchester’s finest restaurants.

Why MERJE?

My proudest achievement is seeing where MERJE has got to since we incorporated the business in 2011. We have expanded from two brothers and a friend working out of small, dingy offices to building our own purpose-built headquarters, employing 40+ staff members and achieving an annual turnover in excess of £10m.

Loves & Loathes

I love my family, food, holidays, Man City and, since lockdown, has enjoyed relaxing on the golf course.

I loathe gin, personal training, diets and tomato ketchup.

Senior Researcher - Finance & Audit

Mandy Abelson

After many years in the Advertising World, I decided to take the plunge 3 years ago into the world of Finance recruitment, and hasn’t looked back since! From planning media campaigns to finding Finance and Audit professionals their perfect next career step, I am all about forging strong, genuine relationships and supporting both candidates and clients however I can.

When I am not resourcing for the likes of Finance Directors, Audit Managers, Accountants and the rest, I can be found either online shopping, watching trash TV or looking to book her next holiday.

Why MERJE?

I chose MERJE because of the values and work ethic that we uphold every day. I feel like I am an important part of a family where everyone is striving for the same goals. The collaborative working environment is second to none and, without wanting to sounding too cliché, it really is a case of work hard and play hard. I never have that Sunday night dread of a new working week because I couldn’t ask for a better team to spend five days a week with!

Love & Loathe

I love Grey Goose, anything carb related and feeding snacks to the entire Manchester office as much as I can.

I loathe loud eaters and liars.
