A GROUP of around 50 East Lancashire company bosses have graduated from management training programmes designed to help their businesses.

To celebrate, ELTEC has organised a presentation ceremony at Mytton Fold Farm Hotel on Wednesday when they will receive their NVQ level 4 and 5 certificates.

But they have not finished. ELTEC workforce development director Harry Buls said higher level skills were the key to unlocking profitable growth for local companies.
