Job hunters flocking to Fleet
Hampshire business CV-Library, the UK's largest independent job board, has revealed that Fleet is seeing a significant increase in applications to local vacancies.
This increase shows a growing interest in Fleet, further establishing its position as one of the happiest places to live and work in the UK.
Latest figures from the job site's database show that applications to local Fleet jobs increased by
an impressive 22% in July 2015 when compared with July 2014.
What’s more, application rates in Fleet are growing more than twice as fast as those for the region as a whole – the South East saw a mere 10.3% increase in candidate applications over the same time, highlighting a growing interest in Fleet as a working location.
Despite the increased interest in the town, candidates are faced with lowering their salary

expectations in exchange for their preferred working location. The average salary in Fleet has declined year-on-year and what’s even more concerning is that today’s average salary in Fleet has slipped below the South East average of £32,977 to £29,178.
Lee Biggins, founder and managing director of CV-Library, explained: “I’ve always been passionate about keeping my business in Fleet so it’s
exciting to see the town emerge as a desirable location for UKcandidates.
"It’s clear that there is a wealth of talent in the region and responsibility falls on local businesses to provide an enjoyable working environment. With salaries lower than the regional average, local companies should look at other benefits they can offer employees to continue attracting candidates to the region."

Two stunning Bentleys, courtesy of Bentley Berkshire Pangbourne, added style and glamour to the Southern Entrepreneurs dinner in May, and The Business Magazine is delighted to announce that the draw for the ’Bentley for the weekend voucher’ – also courtesy of Bentley Berkshire – was won by entrepreneur Sean Taylor of Content Guru.
”I’ve never won a draw before so this is wonderful news,” said Taylor. ”My eight-year-old son is very excited and now angling for this to be my next company car.”
The dinner at Oakley Hall Basingstoke – hosted by The Business Magazine and sponsored by UBS and EY – has gleaned overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Many of the guests have commented on the value of gaining an insight into the financial and economic outlook, and particularly on the opportunity of meeting the likes of Will King, founder of King of Shaves, and listening to the uncut versions of
