The British Agricultural and Garden Machinery Association have teamed up with Coventry University and its corporate development and education arm to offer leadership skills training to its members

Over nine months the members from agricultural businesses across the UK will work towards an award in leadership and management.  Adam Wyatt, technical and training development manager at the Association said the course was a result of a need identified by members to increase the management skills of their workforce: “We represent around 650 members and we identified that many of them had people in management positions, or have been earmarked as managers in years to come, that have had very little or no leadership or management training before.”  The training will result in a qualification accredited by the Chartered Management Institute.
