A WINSFORD-based IT company is offering Cheshire businesses a day of free computer training to encourage them to get to grips with new technology.

Plan-It Training believes that many companies are failing to keep up with the latest office software due to a lack of proper training.

Its skills for business courses, which identify training needs, have revealed a worrying lack of IT skills in both large and small companies.

Now Plan-It is offering one day's free IT training for any company enrolling in skills for business programmes.

The training will include tuition in the Access, Sage, Word and Excell software packages.

To enrol for skills for business, call 01606 862989, or fax your business details to 01606 556505.
