"FOCUS on Success" is the theme for the 2000 Conference of the North West Junior Chambers of Commerce to be held in Bolton.

The event is to be organised by Bolton and Bury Junior Chamber on Saturday, November 25 in the Forte Posthouse Hotel on Beaumont Road.

It is expected to attract more than 100 young business people and managers from around the region.

During the day training seminars will feature techniques showing how to achieve business success, career success and -- for the not so serious -- how you can develop a successful leisure time!

The organisers are keen that not just Junior Chamber members should benefit from the training and for a small charge anyone who wants to find out how they can improve their business or management skills or just wants to reach the top in their

career will be welcome.

The evening will see the Annual Junior Chamber Awards Banquet at which the achievements of Junior Chamber members from around the region will be recognised.

This year the banquet will also be raising money in support of the NSPCC's "Full Stop" campaign.

Junior Chamber's David Udall said: "The conference will show us how we can learn from other peoples' successes and use those lessons and ideas to achieve excellence for our businesses and careers".
