BRADFORD-based supermarket giant Morrisons is to join other big-name employers at the North’s biggest digital recruitment fair next month.

Morrisons will be one of the best-known names offering digital and tech career opportunities at the Leeds Digital Job Fair 4.0, which is being held on Wednesday, February 28.

The firm will join other major employers at the First Direct Arena including mobile network operator EE, Sky Betting and Gaming, Hitachi Capital, Sky, NHS Digital and the Royal Air Force.

Now established as the North’s leading recruitment fair for developers, analysts, digital marketers, designers and data scientists, it has moved to a later time slot to enable tech professionals to attend after work alongside other job seekers, graduates and people in full-time education.

Candidates can register for free tickets to attend the event where there will be able to speak to employers about seeking a new role in digital and tech careers.

Organisers are also hoping to attract more Bradford employers to sign up in the wake of Morrisons’ move.

The fair is directed by Amy De-Balsi, founder of online jobs board Herd.

She said: “We’re particularly excited about Leeds Digital Job Fair 4.0 and are delighted to have Morrisons on board once again.

“More than 500 career opportunities were on offer at the last event in April and this number will certainly be eclipsed.

“Leeds Digital Job Fair 4.0 will run from 3.30pm - 7.30pm to make it easier for tech professionals and students with study commitments to make it along.

“We still have a small number of exhibitor packages and hope that other Bradford employers will follow the lead of Morrisons by signing up.”

Leeds Digital Job Fair 4.0 is supported by Leeds Business Improvement District, Leeds City Council, Leeds Beckett University and the First Direct Arena.
