Financial services professionals in the north-west will get a chance to hone their customer-facing skills at a seminar at Old Trafford next month.

The event, at the home of Manchester United Football Club, will provide expert advice and guidance for people working in the sector.

It has been organised by the ifs School of Finance, which endeavours to improve understanding of financial products.

"This event follows on from previous successful skills exchange days held at both Chelsea and Arsenal football grounds and promises to be the most inspiring to date," said Karen Warden, head of executive education at the ifs School of Finance.

"We are delighted to have so many leaders in their respective fields coming together to impart their knowledge to those working in the financial services industry."

Last summer's floods highlighted the need for better financial education.
