The Warwick Manufacturing Group is currently welcoming applications for a second group of business owners and managers to take part in its Innovation Business Leadership (IBL) programme (the first group of 16 completed their final module last month).

The programme comprises five separate three-day modules and offers heads of SMEs the chance to gain a Postgraduate Award. Peter Cieslak, head of procurement and product development at Coventry-based Region Services Ltd, who took part in the programme, said: “IBL was absolutely brilliant. I loved the entire course — and the WMG team!”

Another participant — Theresa Williams, finance director at Birmingham-based C Brandauer & Co Ltd — said: “If you’d asked me before the course whether I am an innovative and creative person, I’d have said: ‘Absolutely not’. By the end, I was thinking: ‘Was that me, did I do that?’ It’s a fun environment to learn in, and it’s been a
really valuable experience.”

The next IBL programme starts in October. For more information, contact: .
