A PROGRAMME to help small businesses ride the ups and downs of the demands of a global economy, organised by Business Link, will take place in High Wycombe next month.

The 20/20 Vision programme is aimed at providing companies with a set of practical easy-to-use tools which they can apply to their business to help them manage the constant pressures of change. The first event in the progamme, entitled Steps to Excellence, at the Holiday Inn High Wycombe, will be led by coach and management consultant Mike Perreau. Delegates will also have the chance to hear from a company that has been through the process.

Graeme Finch, chief executive of Business Link for Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire said: "Many entrepreneurs are too busy working in the business to find sufficient time to work on the business. This can mean they find it difficult to look beyond the immediate and focus on the long-term prosperity of the business."

To book a place for the morning event, cost £45, contact Business Link customer service on 0845 606 44 66.
