London Silicon Roundabout Weekly Newsletter 25-Oct-2013

ISSUE 25 Oct 2013

Dear LSR Member,

Let me introduce myself, my name is Grace and I am looking after the LSR community alongside London sponsors and key accounts. I’m sure once I’m in the swing of things my newsletters will become more enjoyable as the weeks go on!

As most of you know the Job Fair which was organised to happen yesterday has been postponed until February. Following some peoples questions, yes, you are able to use your ticket from yesterday’s Job Fair for the February fair.

I will try my best to be here for support if any of you have any questions. I will look forward to meeting you at events in the future.

Have a great week!
