Financial Times helps agencies fly high

Continuing with their successful ëhigh-flyersí campaign, Financial Times Recruitment Solutions recently filled Battersea Park with the sound of jet engines as they entertained more than 20 of Londonís leading advertising and recruitment agencies with a flight simulator.

Michael Page, MWA, Robert Walters, MKH, Barkers and Mediacom were among the clients invited to board the simulator and experience a flight in a Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft. The high-flyers experience included a return shuttle bus direct from their office accompanied by an air stewardess, and a goody bag, including refreshments, a model bi-plane and a copy of the FT to complete their experience.

Steve Playford, Managing Director of FT Recruitment Solutions commented:

ìWe tried to give everyone a taste of being a ëhigh-flyerí, while also keeping in mind that people needed to be out of the office for a minimal amount of time – itís important to us to show our clients how valued they are, especially in this challenging recruitment market. The overall feel of the event was very positive – we definitely managed to deliver high-octane exhilaration!î

Ben Hughes, Global Commercial Director and Deputy CEO of The Financial Times added:

ìI think itís a wonderful initiative; matching the high-flyers campaign and the simulator experience has been a great success.î
