EMPLOYERS were being invited for breakfast down at their local Jobcentre today.

The meeting was organised by staff at the Blackburn centre to update local firms on the range of services available to help them with recruitment.

"The breakfast meeting enabled employers to meet the specialist staff they normally only contact by phone and we hope it will also increase the number of vacancies available for our job seeking clients," said Jobcentre manager Hilary Freeman.
