A HOST of top companies from across Berkshire spoke to prospective employees at an inaugural job fair run by the Newsquest Berkshire.

AVON, Thames Valley Police and Coral Reef Waterworld were among the big names to join together at the The Coppid Beech Hotel, in Bracknell, last Thursday (October 11).

Those on the lookout for a new job were able to meet and chat with representatives from companies, which also included Sodexo, Everyone Active and Jobcentre Plus.

The event was organised by Newsquest Berkshire which runs a series of media publications across the county – including this newspaper.

Group Editor Andrew Colley said: β€œIt was a brilliant event and great to see so many people involved. Thank you to all who took part.”
