John Connolly, chief executive for the RNN Group, said: "We are delighted to announce our partnership with CMI and the opportunity it brings for aspiring managers and businesses within our region. This partnership is another positive step for us in being able to support businesses and individuals with the training and qualifications they need for future success, and will help address an increasing need for higher level skills in our local economy."

We're delighted to be working with RNN Group to give 300 managers the opportunity to gain the professional skills that will benefit their employers, as well as their own career development."
