A Lancashire-based training network has appointed a new business manager to help in the drive to get more people back to work in the region.

Dan Scott, managing director at PHX Training, said: “Daniel brings a wealth of expertise to our business as we grow, and we look forward to expanding our offer in the area to those employers and learners who need it with guidance and advice at every level.”
As part of his role, Daniel will also be leading on the work-based learning contract for Lancashire. The European Skills Funded-contract will meet the needs of the individual, the employer and the gaps identified by the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership.
