Julia Comments in Investment Now Magazine

Monday 12th March 2012

Julia Kirby from Workshop is quoted in the March edition of Investment Now magazine.

The magazine article quoted Julia when discussing a recent event promoting Portsmouth University and the Shaping the Future of Portsmouth Coalition.

Julia Kirby is a Director of Workshop Recruitment - one of the leading recruitment agencies in the Portsmouth area specialising in manufacturing, Construction, Engineering, Commercial and Sales and the Pharmaceutical industries.

She said that the event had been a real eye-opener about what the university does. "The fact that the university has this kind of capability in so many areas came as a revelation to me and I think many people would be surprised to learn about the facilities and expertise available right in the heart of the city. Businesses are clamouring for these kinds of facilities and support and I will certainly be banging the drum about the University of Portsmouth.”
