Experts come together to provide valuable knowledge

Feb. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- ST HELENS Chamber has brought together a raft of local experts to deliver a comprehensive programme of business seminars aimed at improving north west business performance.

The new 2011 programme of seminars and workshops has been carefully developed with businesses in mind and calls on the expertise of local providers in the fields of leadership and management, human resources, marketing, finance, IT, winning business, health and safety and exporting, to deliver the workshops.

Barrie Kelly, Director of Marketing and Development at the Chamber, said: “We know that there are a lot of small-medium sized businesses out there who don’t have the internal resources or capacity to dedicate to some elements of running their business, and it is often the owner/ manager or more junior members of staff who need to increase their knowledge in a broad range of fields.

“All the seminars in the new programme are designed to help businesses increase their knowledge, with the ultimate aim of helping them to win new business, boost their profits, get the most out of their people and to ensure they are delivering the best practice in all aspects of their business and beyond.”

Anna Heyes, Managing Director of Liverpool-based strategic marketing and public relations agency, Active Profile, commented: “We are really pleased to be on board to support the Chamber in delivering this programme of seminars. Raising the profile of your business via the media can assist long term growth, increase revenue and build brand awareness, so anything we can do to help local businesses improve their skills in this area is really important to us as an advocate for our industry.”

All the seminars and workshops will be delivered in a way that is easy to understand, providing real practical advice that business people will be able to feedback into their business and heavily discounted rates have been negotiated for St Helens Chamber Members.
