A ENGINEERING boss believes his new qualification will help put his firm on the fast track to success.

Mike Haworth, manufacturing director at Darwen-based Brookhouse Composites, has just completed his NVQ level five programme.

"It helped me look at the business from a different perspective and enabled me to focus on our continuous improvement plans," explained Mike of the firm which is responsible for work including the manufacture of the Jordan Formula One car and the production of aircraft components.

Mike studied for the qualification through ELTEC and Lancaster University.
