"Although employment is at record levels it is clear from talking to employers that one of the problems they face today is recruiting staff.
"The majority attending were young people who had just received their A level results but also it was good to see older people who had lost their jobs or who were looking to change careers coming along see what is available.
"I would like to thank all those involved in organising and supporting today’s event for making it such a great success."
