A wide range of employers from across the Manor Royal Business District met with local jobseekers at the Manor Royal Jobs Fair, held at Crawley Town Hall on Friday 6 March.
The event was organised by the Manor Royal Business Improvement District (BID) in partnership with Employ Crawley and supported by Love Local Jobs and the Department of Work & Pensions.
The fair brought together major employers and local businesses to showcase career opportunities within one of the South East’s largest business districts.
Manor Royal companies large and small attended the event including Virgin Atlantic, Vent-Axia, London Gatwick Airport, Vivisol, and Newrest, all of whom were on hand to discuss current vacancies, training opportunities and career pathways for local job seekers.
The Jobs Fair provided an opportunity for local residents to engage directly with employers operating within the Manor Royal Business District, learn about the variety of roles available and gain insight into the skills and experience sought by local businesses.
Steve Sawyer, Executive Director of Manor Royal BID, said:
“Manor Royal is home to a diverse range of businesses offering hundreds of career opportunities across many sectors. Events like the Jobs Fair play an important role in connecting local people with those opportunities and helping businesses find the talent they need to grow. It was fantastic to see such strong engagement from both employers and jobseekers on the day.”
The event was also supported by Love Local Jobs, who manage the Manor Royal Job Board. The platform provides a free service for Manor Royal businesses to advertise job vacancies, helping to connect employers with local talent.
