Recruitment is under way for staff at a major new Derby venue.

The 3,500-capacity Becketwell Live arena will be used for music, comedy and conferences and is due to open in the spring.

ASM Global, the entertainment operator running the venue, aims to recruit 130 people in a mixture of full and part-time roles, as well as permanent and temporary positions.

Kate Jones, who is leading the recruitment, said some positions had been filled and that it was currently recruiting for a security manager, marketing manager, and sales and box office staff, with about 100 new positions due to go live in the new year.
