Jobs Fair Success

Darlington Borough Council held a jobs and recruitment fair to link up employment opportunities with job hunters in the town. Bella Italia were one of 15 exhibitors who between them were recruiting for more than 700 jobs.

Bella Italia, who will open their new restaurant within the new Feethams Development on Monday 28 March, have recruited five full time and five part time roles from attendees at the Fair.

Nina Widdicombe, new openings recruitment manager for Bella Italia said: “We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the fair and it was a massive success for us. 10 roles is a third of the total number of roles available in Darlington, which is an incredible number to hire to from one event. We were very impressed with the calibre of applicants in the town and we’re excited to open in Darlington.”

Councillor Chris McEwan, Darlington Borough Council Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration said: “You could tell on the day that the recruitment and jobs fair was a great success, and it’s fantastic to see it leading to new jobs for people in Darlington.”
