STUDENTS from Holland and Belgium were given a lesson in business as guests of Rossendale business support specialists Kingfisher.

The third-year business and management students were part of an exchange group organised the University of Salford.

John Calway, managing director of Kingfisher said: "We have a developing relationship with the University of Salford and were delighted to show off the work we do at Kingfisher to the students.

"Over the last 20 years we have played a major role in helping a number of small businesses develop. During their visit we tried to show our visitors the various ways we help people."

The students were given a tour of the business centre in Burnley Road in Rawtenstall and a presentation on how businesses are given advice and training through the Business Link funded initiatives like Action4Business groups.
