THOUSANDS of jobs will be on offer at next week's Daily Echo Recruitment, Training & Careers Exhibition, in association with the Peverel Group.

All 19 stands have been snapped up at the sell-out exhibition which is being held on September 8 and 9 at the Hilton Hotel, Westover Road, Bournemouth.

"It is definitely the fastest-selling exhibition that we have ever organised - it's oversubscribed, we've ended up with a waiting list for potential exhibitors," said the Daily Echo's Marion Coles.

Skills shortages across a wide range of sectors in this area have spurred employers to clinch their places at the event.

Recruitment agencies exhibiting next week will include Smart Group, SOS Recruitment, Adecco, Hays and Office Angels.

Major financial services groups Barclays, RIAS and Liverpool Victoria will also be there.

Also exhibiting will be the Peverel Group, SCA Community Care, Yellow Buses, Poole Hospital NHS Trust, Kerry Foods, Essential Nursing, Bournemouth Children's Information Service, Bournemouth Churches Housing Association, the Army, the Hilton Hotel and the Daily Echo.

The Daily Echo Recruitment, Training & Careers Exhibition, in association with the Peverel Group, will run from 11.30am-7pm on Wednesday, September 8, and from 10am-5pm on Thursday, September 9.

An eight-page exhibition supplement will be published in the Daily Echo on Thursday previewing the event.
