How can you help prepare your business and your staff for the future?
The British Marine Federation Spring 2008 Industry Trends survey says that 41% of businesses are predicting lower profit forecasts. Your staff will need to be at their best for the future growth of your business. If you are an SME within the South East marine sector you get ahead of the game by taking advantage of fully funded management training.
