On Tuesday 7 March, UWL’s Placement and Employment Services Team hosted a Hospitality and Tourism Careers Fair to support students from the London Geller College of Hospitality and Tourism (LGCHT). It was a great success as students and graduates connected with more than 30 employers including Airbus, British Airways, Carnival UK, Four Seasons Hotel, Angela Shanley Associates, Marriott International, The Dorchester Hotel, and Fat Duck Group.
