Event recruitment agency ‘Live Recruitment’ supporting students into industry

This unique partnership has provided cutting edge advice to students at a crucial time in their studies as they prepare to start their careers. Understanding the opportunities, and often complex roles within the events industry, means that Live Recruitment’s advice to students is incredibly valuable and has helped many students gain fantastic roles in the industry right from the start of their careers. 

Laura Sidhu, who graduated from the Events Management degree in 2014 and is now a Senior Account Manager & Team Lead at Live Recruitment comments: "It’s been an honour to work closely with the Leeds Beckett team again this year and to meet with so many of the students in person. We’ve seen some amazing experience and maturity in this year’s graduates, which is really promising for the industry. Emerging talent is so incredibly important as it’s these individuals who will be shaping the events sector for years to come. Congratulations to the winner of our Live Recruitment student prize, Alix Newbatt Simpson, who blew us away with her exceptional knowledge and journey so far! And a big congratulations to everyone who will be graduating in the coming months – best of luck to you all!"

“I am honoured to receive this award. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the amazing teaching staff at the UK Centre of Events Management and without the outstanding team at Run for All. Without the support of these people I wouldn’t have got here. Thank you Live Recruitment for choosing me out of such a strong cohort of students.” - Alex Newbatt Simpson, BA Event Production & Operations Management.
