A team of managers from a local oak-framing company have completed a leadership and management programme with the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ of Worcester's Business School.
The managers, from Herefordshire-based Oakwrights, attended a special awards ceremony at the Business School's historic City ¹û¶³´«Ã½ to collect their ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Diploma in Leadership and Management.
The diploma was an adaptation of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½'s established Leading to Excellence management development programme, and was delivered at Oakwrights" Herefordshire show house and head office in Swainshill.
Bill Keir, the Commercial Director for Oakwrights, said: "The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ of Worcester Business School's approach allowed us to take time to fully understand the business need and together we developed a solution to achieve our leadership and development objectives. As an employer, Oakwrights is committed to the development of our people and this is a good example of our approach."
Tim Maxfield, Director of Business Development in the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ of Worcester's Business School, added: "We are delighted to have worked with Oakwrights. This type of programme emphasises the role the Business School can play in the development of the local and regional economy.
"Up-skilling in the area of leadership and management is a high priority in the West Midlands and this programme presents a model of partnership that does a great deal to address this need."
