Kerry Martin

Head of HR and People

Kerry joined NEBDN in 2024 as maternity cover and it quickly became clear that her impact went far beyond that of a temporary role. With a natural ability to connect with people and a strong grasp of employment law, policies and procedures, and recruitment, she became a valued member of the team and now holds a permanent leadership role as Head of HR & People.

Prior to NEBDN, Kerry was Head of HR within the care sector, where she developed a deep understanding of compassionate leadership, compliance and complex people management. She brings that same balance of professionalism and empathy to her work today.

Kerry brings a professional, friendly and approachable style to everything she does. She has played a key role in turning company culture around, creating a workforce where people feel supported, empowered and engaged. Her expertise in people management, compliance and strategic HR makes her a trusted go-to for both leadership and employees alike.
