A Harwich company has set up a project to help firms with their training.

People Wise has linked up with Stansted-based Brettles PR Marketing and Consultancy, to launch the new venture.

The newly-formed company, Brettles Learning and Development, will offer a number of training programmes.

Malcolm Boucher, managing director of Brettles, thought of the idea after using People Wise himself to develop management skills.

People Wise's clients include W H Smith, GEC Marconi Avionics and The Law Society. The new project has already attracted the Inland Revenue, Customs and Excise and Intergris as customers.
