INTERNATIONALLY-renowned business adviser Professor Amin Rajan, will be passing on his knowledge to East Lancashire company bosses.

He will tell them how to expand their vision and business potential at a seminar at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors, on Tuesday.

The event, organised by ELTEC, will demonstrate how smaller businesses can use higher level skills to achieve profitable growth and increased competitiveness.

ELTEC workforce development director Harry Buls explained: "We have had a substantial impact on how higher level skills are viewed and used in East Lancashire. They are not a luxury, but are vital to stop smaller enterprises from stagnating.

"Everyone who attends this free event will be able to take something away of value to their individual business."

Professor Rajan is chief executive of the Centre for Research in Employment and Technology in Europe.

He is a former economic adviser at the National Economic Development Office, Cabinet Office and HM Treasury.
