"There are jobs on offer in a huge variety of industries – engineering to caring, customer service to working with young people and hospitality to driving. The brilliant thing about the fair is that there is something on offer for everyone, and every year we have seen people walk away from the fair with a new job.

"If you are looking for work, or for the next step in your career, then make sure you come to the Pirelli Stadium tomorrow and meet all of the employers who will be there. You might just find your perfect job."

The fair is open from 10am until 2pm today, Friday, September 29, at the Pirelli Stadium in Burton.
