By Neil Burrows, Themis

22 Feb 2021

In previous articles, I’ve talked about how we can work together to hasten the region’s economic recovery following Covid-19. About how our Northern grit will see us through. About training and diversification being central to business growth.

Now it’s time for me to show you how, at Burnley College, we’ve turned words into actions. How we can help you take your business to the next level – whether that’s simply training staff to use new equipment or technology or something more complex, such as managing fundamental change.

Today I’m proud to introduce you to North West Business Training (NWBT).

North West Business Training had its genesis in the industry expertise and employer engagement that made Themis the trusted source for Apprenticeship training and professional industry training for more than 1,000 employers. Combine this with the innovation and academic excellence that has led to Burnley College being ranked the Number 1 College in England* and you have a truly unbeatable combination.

As director of North West Business Training, I’m proud to lead the team of industry-expert Trainers who built Themis’s reputation for excellence. I’m proud to manage industry specialist advisors who will work closely with you to identify your Individual business training needs – whether you’re head of a multi-national concern or a sole trader.

I’m proud that you’re at the heart of everything we do – our door is always open: we’ll always listen and mould our training to fit you and be your eyes and ears for what training needs may be round the corner.
