The dictionary definition of creativity is: “the use of imagination or original ideas to create something; inventiveness.” Creativity is using your imagination, experience and instinct to create original ideas, in order to create or invent something. Many people would instantly think that this means creating a physical piece of art such as a painting, or a new gadget. But creativity is much more than this – creative thinking is an essential element of running your own business. You need to constantly be evolving, thinking of new ideas and ways to market, promote, and deliver your services or products.

We told you some weeks ago that we’ve been shortlisted for the Franchisee Recruitment category at the prestigious British Franchise Association (bfa) HSBC Franchisor of the Year Awards.

The bfa Awards recognises the UK’s most exceptional operators in a range of categories, for their business growth and development, service excellence and ethical franchising practice. The awards are the oldest and most prestigious in the franchise sector, running for nearly 30 years.

Recently moving from Australia to settle in the UK, Nicole previously worked in a Community Fundraising & Events role for a “non-for-profit” organisation called the Leukaemia Foundation of Queensland.

Premier is an ideal fit for Nicole given her passion for sport. She’s previously competed at national level in the 100m Hurdles & Pentathlons for her native Australia as well as competed at state level in Touch Rugby.

We are extremely excited to present to you an exciting new qualification that will be available by September 2016 - a Performing Arts, PESS L2 equivalent.
