biz-ability, the region’s leading corporate training, teambuilding and business strategy group, today announced the appointment of Bev Mileham as General Manager. Mileham will lead the company as it embarks on its most important year of growth across all lines of its business.
Established in 1994 and headquartered in Dubai, the biz-ability group incorporates three individual centres of expertise: biz-ability, a corporate training and development division; biz-events, the Middle East’s first and largest professional teambuilding company; and biz-strategy, the newest division of the group, helping businesses to develop and implement their corporate strategy.
Mileham brings a wealth of experience to the business, with a 25-year track record in both South Africa and the Middle East in roles that included finance, training, quality, human performance and operational management.
Her appointment as General Manager marks a return for Mileham to biz-ability, having previously worked for the company as a Training Consultant and Business Leader between 1998 and 2004. Prior to re-joining biz-ability, Mileham worked for Avis UAE for five years, holding positions as Human Performance Manager and District Manager, before becoming General Manager for Avis Rent a Car.
Welcoming Mileham to biz-ability, Hazel Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of the group said: “We are delighted to have Bev back on board at biz-ability and have every confidence in her leadership of the team through this critical phase of our development. This is an exciting time for our company as we broaden our offering in services and expertise, and geographically within the Middle East region.”
As a group, biz-ability has played a pioneering role in bringing internationally recognized training products and expertise to the region. While it researches and designs its own programmes, biz-ability is also affiliated with many of the world’s leading management organisations. It is the only locally-based training company to offer international accreditation from the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM).
biz-events is the exclusive regional representative for the world leading teambuilding firm Catalyst Global, and now offers over 40 international, award winning corporate teambuilding options to businesses in the Middle East.
biz-strategy is the exclusive licencee in the region for international growth guru and best-selling author Verne Harnish, including access to his company Gazelles, Inc., which serves as an outsourced corporate university for SME companies wanting to manage their growth strategy.
