A ONE-STOP shop for businesses is hoping to score a winning try by sponsoring a Worcester Warriors' player.

The Skills Station is backing Worcester Warriors fly-half James Brown for the 2004/2005 season.

James is in his second season at the club, having played a major role in its recent undefeated season.

"Worcester Warriors have a very exciting season in prospect and we wish James the best of luck," said Skills Station manager, Corinne Edwards.

"We hope that our sponsorship of James will raise the profile of the Skills Station to a whole new group of local small and medium-sized enterprises."

The Skills Station initiative provides businesses with all the information, advice and guidance on a wide range of courses for workforce development, from practical business skills and apprenticeships to professional qualifications.

It is funded by the Learning and Skills Council Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and Advantage West Midlands.
