The Association of Professional Managers and Entrepreneurs (APME) has been established by a team of three professionals who have worked together for many years. Between them, they have vast experience working with Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs). This experience has included working directly with businesses in the sector and the development of appropriate education and training programmes and qualifications relevant to the needs of SMEs.
The objective of the “Founding Members” is to bring all their experience together with the many partnerships and contacts that they have established over the years by establishing a global organisation for Professional Managers and Entrepreneurs. All this with the goal of enabling SMEs to improve their profitability and efficiency through access to affordable and highly relevant professional development opportunities, including a series of webinars and seminars. The Founding Team also intends APME to host regular online and occasional face to face networking sessions and conferences, to provide further learning and development through the mutual sharing of experiences and the identification of potential business opportunities amongst the APME global community of Members and Associates.
