HEALTH and safety, employment law and HR service provider Citation has organised one of its seminars in Preston.
The company based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, currently has more than 100 clients in the city and will host the breakfast seminar on next Tuesday at the Macdonald Tickled Trout Hotel by the M6.
Its aim will be to offer business owners or managers expert advice on how to effectively manage HR and health and safety efficiently.
Citation chief executive, Chris Morris, said: “The purpose of our seminars is to protect businesses.
“We are a nation of entrepreneurs operating SMEs, yet too many business owners are bogged down with HR, Employment Law or Health and Safety problems.
“These issues can be time consuming to understand and resolve, especially when you are not an expert in that field.”
