Grass Roots says it
is not witnessing the talent shortage reported by the wider industry, as it
welcomes four new starters.
The meetings and
events company has appointed four first-class graduates and an account manager
to service new business wins in the strategic meetings management division.
Beth Seddon, Hannah
François and Keertana Gursahani-Khatwani are graduates of the University of
Greenwich, and Helen Travers has come from Sheffield Hallam University. Having
been recruited at the MPI Connects event in April, they joined the London office
as venue consultants in June.
Sue Massey,
operations director of Grass Roots Meetings & Events commented: "Last
week’s HBAA Forum expressed concern at a ‘talent gap’ in the industry, but I
can safely say we have no such problem. Through our membership of MPI and
attendance at MPI Connects, we’ve built strong links with leading universities
and we are immensely proud to have attracted such a high calibre of graduate.
I’m happy to say that they are all making great progress through our extensive
on-boarding programme."
