A FORMER marketing manager with Burnley FC has scored a double success.

Cynthia Haworth has gained two accolades in the marketing industry. As well as gaining Chartered Marketer status, Cynthia has also been granted validation by the Chartered Institute of Marketing to run all its courses on a private basis.

Her company, Marketing Qualifications and Careers, of Worston, near Clitheroe, will also offer a career recruitment and advice service, marketing courses and a consultancy service.

Cynthia will be the first private provider of CIM courses in Lancashire and Yorkshire.

"I have looked at strong trends and research materials from local industry and commerce in both counties and have come to the conclusion that there has never been a better time or more enormous need to establish a company such as mine in this geographical area," she said.

Tuition and training will take place at the Old Stone Trough Inn, Kelbrook, near Colne.
