New City. New Venue.

Recruitment Agency Expo is Entering an Exciting New Chapter.

Following strong exhibitor support for a move to Manchester, Recruitment Agency Expo will launch its Manchester edition at the AO Arena in October 2027. Here's a fresh, high-profile platform for suppliers to connect with recruitment agency owners, directors and senior decision-makers from across the North, Midlands, Scotland, Wales and the wider UK market.
