Renishaw, the global engineering technologies company (

The fair (which ends today) is the largest celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) for young people in the UK.
Renishaw’s education liaison manager, Julie Collins, says: “We are absolutely committed to developing the skills of young people to help address the national shortage of engineers and scientists. This year, we are recruiting 70 graduates and 30 apprentices and giving placements to 100 students.
“Events like the Big Bang Fair really help to spark the interest of young people and inspire them to keep studying STEM subjects.”
In 2014, the Big Bang Fair attracted more than 75,000 visitors of all ages.
