Management training company ST*R Learning, based in Oxted, Surrey has welcomed its Czech business partners to UK soil for the first time.

The family-run training business formed a new company in Prague last year to deliver British-style training workshops in the Czech Republic and surrounding countries. The directors of the Czech joint venture, STAR Learning s.r.o, visited the UK earlier this year to receive support and training for developing the Czech training business.

"The visit marked an important milestone in our development as a business," said Carolle Thompson, Commercial Director at ST*R Learning.

"We're a British family business but we have an international outlook. We were delighted to welcome our Czech partners to the UK. By spending time together we could celebrate what we've achieved so far as a joint venture and make sure it got off to a flying start in the Czech market, where there is a great opportunity for us to grow." www.strlearning.co.uk
