TK Maxx also said the event was “very successful.” All firms involved at the event, which featured 350 jobs and was attended by 2,146 people, were complimentary. However, there were some minor complaints, mostly related to layout and spacing.
GEL and Fusion suggested: “If possible keep the queues away from other stands, this made it difficult for stands to be seen as hidden by queues for other companies.” 8over8 also felt it would have been better if the stands had been more spread out.
There were other concerns, however. Kainos would have liked the event to have been promoted more to final year students at university.

Pramerica said: “Only change they would make is to ensure Wifi is effective. Wifi was poor until 12.30pm. Millennium staff were excellent in sorting the internet out.” Seagate said: “Only change they would make to future events of parking.”
