UK Entrepreneur Secures North American Scholarship Program

April 15, 2009 - PRLog -- Amanda Clarke of Optimum Training Limited has gained a rare place on the North American Scholarship Program to help British businesses to expand by understanding the importance of effective marketing in the USA.

The Manchester born entrepreneur secured one of ten places on the prestigious two week programme, which has been organised by the UK Trade and Investment and The British Consulate-General in Chicago.

Designed to open up new opportunities in America for UK based small and medium sized businesses, the intense Programme starts on the 19th April 2009 and will enable Optimum Training to roll out its acclaimed business development and training courses in California.

Despite the global economic down turn, Optimum Training has continued to expand in the last twelve months with centres now in Manchester, Chester, and a new centre soon to be opened in San Diego, California.

Commenting on the scholarship, Amanda said:

“I am delighted to have been awarded a place on the programme.  It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the American market and decide on our best strategy for expanding Optimum in the States.”

The programme is valued at around ten thousand pounds and is sponsored by The Ellis Goodman Foundation and Kelloggs School of Management.
