LEIGH'S Business Networking Academy is celebrating its move to new premises with an open day for all employers.

The group, set up two years ago to bring high value, low cost business development programmes to companies, has a new base at Dam House, Astley, which houses a set of executive suites and training rooms.

Richard Waterfield, chairman of Waterfields (Leigh) Ltd and chairman of the Business Networking Academy Steering Committee, is inviting representatives from all local companies to the free open day on April 23.

A series of free seminars covering some of the key topics in management today will be available.

They are entitled The Business Networking Academy -- Supporting Your organisation, Building a Better Business, Successful Human Resource Management and Managing Safely.

Interested parties can book places by contacting Donna Morris on 01942 894517 or drop in on the day.
