FREE retail courses in Sheffield

Recommended Posts

Hi I wanted to let as many people as possible know about these 3 free courses, aimed at businesses wanting to either sell to retailers, or to retail themselves. They're going to be delivered by a guy who has masses of experience at senior level with the likes of Morrisons, and Walmart and are being sponsored by Business Sheffield.

 

Anyone wanting to book on or find out more should ring 0800 0435522 or 0114 224 5000. I understand there are only between 4 and 7 places left (depending which course you're looking at)
