Hundreds of Bradford firms are being given a chance to become World Class companies by going on a year-long programme.

Keighley Business Forum is holding an event tomorrow which will launch firms on a one-year programme to success.

The event, which will be at KBF's Business Development Centre in Lawkholme Lane, is being presented by three local management consultants who work with the Centre for Tomorrow's Company which is hoping to change the face of British industry.

The Centre for Tomorrow's Company followed research which showed that Britain had too few World Class firms so could not compete as effectively with companies in the rest of the globe.

The organisation was set up by the Royal Society of Arts which aims to help firms develop through what it calls the Inclusive Approach.

Russell Devitt, Peter Callender and David Pearson will be taking part in the event which starts at 5.45pm.

Peter Callender said: "Becoming more inclusive embraces best practise in relationships with suppliers, customers, employees, shareholders and the local community."
