The energy throughout the event has continued to buzz; last minute business deals and VIP speeches have dominated the day, creating a lively atmosphere.
Feeling optimistic and energised, both Conor and Danny have experienced effective meetings with promising conversations, creating a bright outlook for future business deals.
Despite less footfall throughout the show, VHR’s stand in Hall 1 has attracted both candidates looking for new job opportunities and even industry competitors wanting to discuss the recruitment business.

The UK Space Agency hosted Liam’s speech, which was closely followed by the MP meeting and greeting those exhibiting in the UK Hall.
Liam Fox approached WEAF stand with eagerness to discuss the future of Aerospace and Defence trade in the South Western area of England - he was pleased to see such a great turn out and so many different sectors within the Aerospace industry exhibiting.

. AirBus A380: Focussing on environmental awareness, Airbus cleverly parked an A380 plane on the runway of the Farnborough Air Show painted in an awareness campaign - the plane was unavoidable and thought provoking. Split in half, one side was painted in a bright turquoise with beautiful coral prints around the aircraft - the message, “Not too late for Coral Reefs”. Comparatively, the other side of the aircraft is designed in a dark blue with white coral prints, capturing the essence of a lost coral ecosystem - the message, “Coral Reefs Gone by 2050”. The emphasis and focus on improving technology and engineering to help protect the environment has never been more paramount in the aerospace industry. The overall message asked “Save the Coral Reefs - Which side are you on?”
Conor McKeon, VHR’s Divisional Director, commented on the success and enjoyment of exhibiting at the Farnborough Air Show this year:
