"One aspect I like about my job is that our exhibition business contributes positively to society. For example, AGRI WORLD serves as an opportunity for training in addition to its main role as a B2B trade fair. Japanese farmers gather and fly from all over Japan to do their workshops at the show. They take the latest agricultural technology which they have learned at the show back to their home, and use this acquired knowledge and skills to improve productivity. ” - Daichi Yajima

“I first joined RELX, as a Graduate Software Developer in London. After six months, I transitioned onto a new team where I was fortunate enough to travel to China several times. This later led to me being given the opportunity to embark on a three-year secondment in one of our Shanghai offices. I am now working with a new team in Alpharetta in the US, which I think really highlights that RELX is a truly global company with lots of opportunities.” - Zach Bassett
