It beat other national contenders not just because of its location, but also for the quality and diversity of talent available.
“Working closely with Leicester and De Montfort universities, Leicester College and the job centre, Hastings plans to help identify career opportunities for a range of people across a range of experience levels and provide comprehensive training and development.”
