The help that a business development manager can offer one local authority's childcarers is explained by Karen Faux.

The National Day Nurseries Association is moving ahead with providing business support to Thurrock childcare providers since winning the tender earlier this year. It has just appointed David Woods as business development manager. He will be consulting with pre-schools and childminders as well as nurseries in the Essex borough.

Mr Woods has previously worked for corporate and small companies and has wide experience of ensuring that businesses provide sustainable, customer-led services.

He will be offering business consultations and financial planning on a one-to-one basis.'
