Tim Shepherd, Iliffe recruitment media consultant, said: “I am delighted with how the Bury Free Press IM Job Fair went this year.

“I personally really enjoyed meeting all the hosts and learning about the range of employers and different businesses.

“They ranged from further education groups to the armed forces and even a business supplying malt to make beer.

“It was really heartwarming to witness the connections being forged by jobseekers and employers.

“I hope both parties alike found the day useful and enjoyable.

“I would also like to thank everyone who attended, both standholders and those who visited.

“Your attendance really helps us continue to put these events on for the community.”
