Bosses at CCM, Millennium Business Park, approached NTU after identifying a need for a new business management graduate to help them review and update their internal business systems.

The review established a need for a change to their business practices and developed new processes which helped their expanding creative department manage new services.

Trent Peek, CCM business manager, said: “Working with NTU has been great. Thanks to the funding toward our new graduate and two work placement students, we have been able to invest more time and effort into proactive projects.

“With the new employee working on our social media and our internal systems, we will take our business to the next level.
