A NATIONAL charity has appointed a Billington man as its millennium chairman.
Management consultant Derek Jackson, of Painter Wood, is now at the helm of the Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming (ANLP), which promotes the therapeutic technique used in health care, business and sport.
He won the contested election and will be based at the headquarters of the Northern School of NLP and Associated Studies at Station House, Station Road in Whalley.
Mr Jackson co-founded the organisation with his Scottish-born wife, Fran Burgess, who is a master NLP practitioner and trainer.
He said: "I am delighted to take on the role of elected chairman. I see my primary role as educating people to the benefits of NLP, which I discovered almost by accident 15 years ago while training to be a counsellor.
"NLP is the study of how people experience the world and how this affects their behaviour. Practitioners of NLP are able to help anyone discover what lies behind their behaviours and apply this information in their own life."
