Can you help Charity for Injured Troops with some Workshop Space?

KartForce is a charity that introduces injured troops to competitive motorsport, starting with team endurance karting – anything from 2hr to 24hrs.
 
Our team mechanic lives in Worthing so we’re looking for an secure unit in this area, and write to ask if Lancing Business Park might be able to assist us.
 
We haven’t started looking for units available for rent yet as we were very much hoping that maybe one of your members might be able to assist us.
 
We need to find a unit fairly quickly – before Xmas.

The unit needs to be large enough to park our van - extra-long wheel-based van with high roof and trailer.

The unit will be used mostly for storage of the van, trailer, karts, engines, tools, spares, etc but will also be used to service our race karts and get them ready before each race.

We don’t need an office or any other facilities – a toilet would be good though.

Is this something Lancing Business Park can assist us with?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Regards
Dave Player

DEVELOPING PEOPLE, DEVELOPING BUSINESS

MA in Leadership and Management from the University of Chichester

This programme offers students the opportunity to study for a Postgraduate award in leadership and management.

You will gain a greater understanding of advanced thinking in management, your own capability and in turn your overall performance through a critical reflection on your own management practice and ideas.

How does it work?

The MA programme has been designed to achieve a close connection between the learning environment and the workplace.  Emphasis is placed on face to face delivery of the programme with student participation and experience being central to the facilitation of learning and teaching. The use of professional specialists to provide input where required is also a key feature of the learning approach.

The programme examines the practice of leadership and management informed by an analysis of wider management theory, in a changing organisational context. 

You will attend our Bognor Regis campus for 1 day per month for 10 months in the first 2 years. The final year is more flexible and focuses on producing a dissertation topic supported by your tutors. We predominantly use small group learning and Action Learning Sets to deliver the content of the programme. Assessment is via assignment/presentations and report completion.

What will I be studying?

You will create a detailed, transformational Personal Development Plan in your first year alongside a study into ‘Managing a Department’.  In the second year you will study Strategic Leadership and High Performance Team Management.  In the final year you will attend research methods workshops, decide on a specific area to investigate and report on what is relevant to you, your career or your employer.


What are the distinctive features of this programme?
•    We emphasise the examination of leadership and management practice, using case examples from within the students own organisation
•    We create greater critical understanding of leadership and management in a range of sectors and the opportunities and constraints present in organisations at a time of great change
•    We enable the study of leadership to enhance capability and in turn the overall performance of organisations through structured reflection on practice
•    the development of individual effectiveness as a leader in professional workplaces and particularly when working in unpredictable and changing contexts
•    flexibility of ‘stepping off’ points at Certificate, (year 1) Diploma (year 2) and MA (year 3), to suit individual and organisational demands and needs
•    the use of action learning sets to develop a supportive learning environment for postgraduate students

What qualifications do I need to do the programme?

You will normally need a degree, or equivalent to do the programme.  In exceptional circumstances we can consider non-standard applications from non-graduates with significant, relevant work experience who can prove that they would benefit from and be able to cope with the programme.

How much does it cost?

Provisional course fees are £3,500 per academic year for the first two years and £2,800 for the third and final year (these are provisional and subject to change)

COLLABORATE TO COMPETE! WORK TOGETHER TO WIN!

How employers can work together to upskill their employees

Three leading members of Bognor Regis Ltd, URT, JCC Lighting and Heirlooms-Linens, have come together with the University of Chichester’s School of Enterprise Management and Leadership (SEMAL) to identify particular areas of their businesses where skills development is required. 

All three companies are keen to invest in their employees to ensure they have the skills to maintain their long-term competitive position, enhance their ability to react to changing market conditions and continually improve their performance at home and abroad.

URT, JCC and Heirlooms worked with the University of Chichester to identify their main skills priorities and highlighted Operations Management as one key area for development.  The University is working to develop a programme to upskill selected URT and Heirlooms employees in this important area. This programme is planned to be delivered in February 2015. Is this an area of development for your company?

JCC have identified a range of leadership and management areas as key to their development and, again, the University will be identifying ways to address these important priorities.

URT, Heirlooms, JCC and the University are keen to invite other BRL members to consider their skills and development needs and work together with the University as a collective group to address them.

There may well be other areas such as Coaching, Strategic Management, Marketing, Supply Chain/Purchasing, and Performance Management on which other BRL members may like to work together.

Companies from different sectors working together can stimulate new ideas, different approaches and ways of working which can boost performance and maintain competitiveness.

If you feel your business could benefit from this exciting approach please contact Andrew Adams on 07796 655247 – a.adams@chi.ac.uk at the University of Chichester for an informal discussion.
