MORE than 500 work-seekers attended Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson's ninth Jobs Fair.

This year's event on Friday at Colne Muni has stalls and representatives from more than 30 thirty local and national companies with job vacancies and training opportunities,

Mr Stephenson said, “Even though employment is at an all-time high, it is still important we ensure everyone has the opportunity to find a job.

"The Pendle Job’s Fair is a great way to bring lots of different companies from a range of sectors together into one place, and provides a real opportunity for prospective employees.”

The event was supported by Barnfield Construction, Training 2000 in conjunction with UCLAN, Silentnight and Farmhouse Biscuits.
