LIFE CHANGING AWARDS

The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy donated fabulous prizes in the recent Remote Worker Awards. In an exciting ceremony this week, at the beautiful Clivedon House in Berkshire, National Director, Nigel Le Page presented Abbe Martin and Catherine Prout (left and centre in picture) with a fantastic business opportunity. In a very closely fought competition, their entries were both deemed most deserving of the Special Award. Each was presented with a Helen O'Grady Franchise in their area. Runner up, Louise Snell (R) will benefit from a special introductory package as she too starts her own drama business in January 2010.

Abbe's branch will be based in Exeter and Catherine's in Warwick. Louise will be working in the Dorset area. All three girls are over the moon and will be training for their new role in October. Nigel Le Page said, " We worked out a short list of eight candidates, spoke with all of them and studied their applications very carefully. The calibre was so high, we decided to award two first prizes - and we were happy to give Louise a head start too! We are convinced all three ladies will be an asset to the Academy".

International Franchisors at Thornbury Castle

For the first time this summer, Franchisors from around the world gathered in Bristol to discuss a very exciting future! Helen O'Grady (CI) Ltd. has recently taken over the world wide rights to Helen O'Grady International and hosted this first Seminar. Visitors from all parts of the globe visited Thornbury Castle in South Gloucestershire after the meetings to celebrate their success.

National Director, Nigel Le Page, now Owner and Licensor of the Helen O'Grady Drama System, said: "We had a very productive two days. All of us have the same passion for offering the best to the children who attend our classes, which are the only ones guaranteed to develop children's self esteem and skill in verbal communication. It was a privilege to work with so many positive people. Together, we can take the Academy forward into the future with confidence."
