Essex Finance Fest

Following the success of our Financial & Related Services recruitment fair in April, we are back with our biggest event yet, coming Saturday 13th October!

The Finance Festival will be held at ACL Brentwood, in Shenfield, CM13 1BD from 10am – 2pm. The event will bring together employers from across Essex who are recruiting for a range of roles within the Financial and Related Services Sector. Visitors to the event will also have the opportunity to talk to trade bodies from the sector, training providers and careers advisers to guide and support you to take the next steps in your career. 

Employers book your FREE stand!!!

Essex Employers can attend the event for free. To book your stand and find out more email: elizabeth.gray@essex.gov.uk.

How is the event being promoted?

As part of our campaign, we have created on-train adverts  which will be on the Greater Anglia and c2c lines for two weeks in September / October. These lines cover all commuters coming through Essex, (Colchester, Witham, Chelmsford, Billericay, Shenfield, Southend and c2c covers the Southend and Basildon line going into Fenchurch St). The on-board advertising will have an audience of 670,000 commuters over the 2 weeks and will be supplemented with targeted social media adverts and posts.

We have chosen the location as it is 10 minute walk from Shenfield Station, this is an interchange station for all the train lines going into Liverpool St, so people can use their season tickets to get there. It is also 5 minutes from the A12, 10 minutes from the A127 and M25. There is plenty of free onsite parking.

We are also targeting jobseekers, school/ college leavers and those who don’t travel to London but are looking for a new job / career change. Posters will go up in Jobcentres, libraries, colleges and schools.

By having the event on a Saturday, we wanted to remove the childcare barrier for people and will be running sessions for children to attend to keep them happy, whilst parents are meeting with you.
