HUDDERSFIELD Town is trying a new tack when it comes to training.

While the players get back to the training ground, the club has announced a partnership with international brand Dale Carnegie Training.

The global company, founded in 1912, has been involved with the Club since 2006 and is regarded as one of the leading training providers for all sizes of business, supporting organisations to develop their talent.

“We're delighted to be formally recognised as partners of the football club,” said Juliette Dennett, managing director of Dale Carnegie.

“The club is making waves both on the pitch and on the business side and we are proud to ‘up’ our commitment with them.

“Their business base is growing rapidly along with their reputation throughout not only the sports industry, but in the Yorkshire business community – so the more we can become involved with them the better.”

The partnership sees an involvement of Dale Carnegie with the commercial side of the club, especially the business events conducted throughout the season.

Town commercial director Sean Jarvis said: “We are honoured to welcome such an established company to the club.

“We have entrusted them in staff training over recent years and it’s clearly reaping rewards, not only on the commercial income sheet but in the quality of individuals we have working behind the scenes at the club. This includes Andy Booth, who has been on their courses since he hung up his boots.”

As a special gesture to all Town-supporting businesses and to mark the partnership, Dale Carnegie will provide a 10% discount on any training courses. Visit www.dalecarnegie.com
