Egrex Signs Two Year Deal at ExCeL London

Monday Jan 12, 2004

The second year of the graduate fair EGREX, was such a success that Recruitment Exhibitions have signed a two year deal to stay at ExCeL London.

With in excess of 13,000 visitors over two days and over 70 exhibitors, half of which have already booked for 2004, EGREX is set to become one of the UK's leading recruitment exhibitions.

Says Simon Bennie, Managing Director, Recruitment Exhibitions: "The continued success of EGREX means that many new organisations are choosing to participate in EGREX as opposed to other events they have attended in previous years. This is because of the strong links with have with universities across the UK and the tremendous feedback from visitors and exhibitors alike. Our marketing campaign exceeds any other London based graduate recruitment event, which means that we can look forward to an even bigger and better event in 2004."

The National Graduate Law Fair that was launched alongside EGREX also showed promising results. With nearly 5,000 visitors and 40 exhibitors, Recruitment Exhibitions was delighted with the results.

Says ExCeL London Chief Executive, Jamie Buchan: "EGREX has continuously grown year on year and we are very pleased that they have decided to remain at ExCeL London for a further two years. On average, independent research shows that events repeating at ExCeL London have seen an overall increase of 22% in attendance over the last year. We are looking forward to working with Recruitment Exhibitions to help make 2004 an even more successful event."
