Hi Shirley,

Hi Shirley,
Just wanted to drop you a line to say that it was great to meet you on Monday at what was a really successful event from our perspective. They were a really engaged bunch of students, and we had some great conversations. We were able to take details of over 60 students that we will be inviting to apply for our year in industry placements when we go live with the adverts in February.
Thanks again for having us!
Ian Everett (Recruitment Manager, Elevate Credit International Ltd)

Shirley,
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to showcase our company to students, it was a very busy evening, and we had a lot of interest from students both for placement years and permanent employment.
Colin Tanner (CTO, DigiSeq)
