Stockport based Baker Thompson has expanded its offering overseas and partnered with a North American organisation to offer its BakerWrite Speedwriting Training programme in the US and Canada.
‘All Things Admin’, owned by Julie Perrine, is a leading provider of breakthrough products, training, mentoring, and resources for administrative professionals worldwide, so the partnership is a natural one, according to Heather Baker, creator of BakerWrite, whose company, Baker Thompson Associates, is based in Stockport.
Baker says:
“It is a delight and an honour to have Julie as our U.S. and Canadian BakerWrite licensee. We are very much looking forward to welcoming North American BakerWriters to our ever-expanding family.”
Julie agrees:
“I am very excited to add the BakerWrite course to the ‘All Things Admin’ product and training offerings. As office professionals everywhere try to do more with less, and do it more efficiently, developing speedwriting skills can be the key to their success.
“From the moment I first attended one of Heather’s training courses, I knew it would be a great fit for the audience we serve.”
Since its inception in 2004, the BakerWrite program has helped countless personal and administrative assistants, journalists, administrators, interpreters, students, and executives take better notes. The program is already offered throughout the United Kingdom, including all Pitman Training Centres, as well as several other countries and online.
Since 2000, Heather, a former personal assistant, has been working with small and large organizations in the U.K., Australia and Middle and Far East to enable assistants and administrative staff to work more effectively. She is also the author of Successful Minute Taking: Meeting the Challenge and Successful Business Writing.
Julie Perrine, CAP-OM, is an administrative expert, speaker, author, and Certified Productivity Pro® Consultant. She founded All Things Admin in 2009 to guide, encourage, and connect administrative professionals to the innovative technologies, ideas, resources, and people they need as they work toward achieving their career goals.
