BUSINESSES throughout Bury are invited to the next meeting of the Greater Manchester Association for Spirit at Work which is spearheading a culture of care, meaning and purpose in the workplace.

Summerseat businessman Phil Clothier, managing director of Corptools (UK) Ltd, launched the Association's Greater Manchester Chapter in September.

Its next meeting will be held at St James Church Centre, St James Avenue, Bury, on Monday November 11, between 7pm to 9.30pm.

An interactive session will be led by Alan Harpham and Sue Howarth from SOAR (Spiritual Organisation and Reality), and the meeting will focus heavily on the theme of spirituality intelligence and how this equates to businesses.

Phil said: "At the meeting, people attending will be among the first to see, play with and give feedback on material that will be taken into the business schools to help students and others to explore and become comfortable with this topic."
