City Finance Fair 2013

The City Finance fair 2013 took place yesterday, 10th October in the ICMA Centre Atrium. The event was aimed at introducing specialist organisations to Henley Business School students and was an excellent opportunity for students to expand their knowledge and network of contacts.

Graham Philpott, Career Development Consultant, who organised the event said “It’s so important for students to talk to organisations rather than rely on internet research as Finance is an industry built on relationships. ”

Amongst the companies attending were Validus Risk Management, OSTC, FundApps Ltd, & Old Mill Accountants & Financial Planners. Pictures from the day are available on our Facebook page at this link.
