A special Jobs Fair took place on Thursday 20th March at Accrington Town Hall, run by Hyndburn Borough Council to support 45 local businesses with their recruitment.

This proved to be a great success with over 2000 visitors, and free stands were available for Hyndburn businesses looking to recruit staff at the event, helping both businesses and people looking for vacancies.

 The Jobs Fair was free-to-attend and open to anyone of any age, with opportunities available in employment, people looking for career advice or are thinking about starting an Apprenticeship.

Stands ranged from the army, police, Network Rail, EE, WEC Group, iMEP International Music Event Production, Clayton Park Bakery, NLTG, Senator, brsk and many more.

 The event also welcomed local star of this year's BBC The Apprentice, Emma Rothwell to Accrington Town Hall, who was on hand to talk to visitors about their career goals and next steps on the employment ladder.

There were also two useful workshops, ‘Interview Preparation' and ‘Presentation Skills Workshop' to get people work confident and ready, all provided free.

 Emma Rothwell, who is also the founder of thriving online business Quirky Giraffe, said "It's so good to be back in Accrington, my home town, and representing my company. Thank you everyone!"

 Cllr Scott Brerton, portfolio holder for business and gowth, said: "What a fantastic day we have had here at the Hyndburn Jobs Fair!

"We have had organisations exhibiting from a wide range of industries and lots of interest in the roles from local people.

"It has been a great effort from everyone involved and if you missed out, don't worry, our brochure is available online to learn more about today's event!"

 Cllr Munsif Dad, leader of Hyndburn Borough Council added: "It's been a wonderful day today seeing all of the organisations coming in to provide a wealth of opportunities for people. It'll be good to see all those people in their new roles moving forwards!"
