ALMOST 200 managers gathered for the latest meeting of a club set up to make East Lancashire firms more competitive.

The latest Investors in People Network club meeting was held at the County Hotel, Blackburn. The meeting included a seminar by training firm boss Geoffrey Leigh about how to make sure employs get value for money from training schemes. The next meeting to be staged by the club will be on March 2 at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors.
