A FULLY-funded leadership programme is being offered by a leading training provider.

Total Excellence Centre is giving Leigh businesses the chance to benefit from the fully-funded leadership and management development programme.

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) programme is aimed at businesses with proven growth potential whose senior managers, executives and owners would benefit from developing leadership skills.

The three-day course, worth in excess of £1,500, is open to eligible businesses operating within Leigh.

Participants will benefit from a range of development modules with the overall aim of gaining a better understanding of the key skills required to drive, engage and grow a business.

Michelle Mercer, director at Total Excellence Centre, said: “We’ve already seen a number of North West businesses benefit tremendously from our learning and development training programmes, so it’s fantastic news that companies in Leigh can now take advantage of this inspiring leadership programme and help realise their growth potential as we move towards 2015.”

Interested companies are being advised to apply as soon as possible to secure their place on the programme, which has been extended due to popular demand.

It is now also running on February 25 and 26 and March 17.
