Paul Miszewski, Barclay’s head of Human Resources in Southern Africa explained that his company was willing to travel from Africa to the UK because he believes that Africans who have studied in countries like the UK have an international exposure and provide the diversity that Barclays needs in its future leaders. He stated that ‘’Barclays bank is interested in recruiting candidates who understand that the world is a global village as well as take on board global trends”. He also advised that “students should develop values that consider the impact of their activities on the society”. Marc Norris, Head of Consumer fixed at Vodafone in Ghana believes that Vodafone Africa attended the fair at the UK to recruit Africans who were living abroad because the company plans to build a world class business.
