THE sales and marketing team at a Worcestershire based presentation and communication company is today celebrating the academic success of four members of staff - one of them being crowned top student in the region.

As part of the Hartlebury-based DRP Group's training and development programme, which saw the company scoop an Investors in People accreditation last month, the team embarked on a range of professional courses.

Sales and marketing director Stuart Nicholas, along with key account manager David Markham, attended the 20-week long sales and marketing management course (Level 3).

Sales co-ordinator Paul Weston undertook a Level 2 certificate in sales, while it was a double success for marketing co-ordinator Amy Wright.

She not only passed the Chartered Institute of Marketing Certificate in marketing, but was also awarded the top student award in the Midlands for her efforts during the 36-week course.

All of the courses were completed in Worcester at the College of Technology and Business Centre, and every team member passed with either a merit or distinction grade.
