Congratulations to our Network Manager, Gerard Murray and all the other Skillnet Business Network Managers who recently received certificates for their participation in the Executive Programme for Network Managers.

This year, 14 Skillnet Business Networks took part in the programme, which ran from April to June, providing a valuable pathway for continuing professional development. The initiative supports Network Managers in building on high performance, driving strategic impact, and fostering innovation across their networks.
