The Liverpool Festival could mark the start of successful careers as travel couriers for 19 young unemployed Merseysiders who have completed an intensive course funded by the EEC and local authorites. Ten of them have the chance to form a workers' cooperative, now the stylish way of starting a business.
Verite Baker, managing director of Ambassador of Britain, who runs a courier training school in London, was the course tutor. She used a borrowed Leyland Tiger coach for the purpose. Apart from her skill as a teacher of couriers, she is an informed critic of coach design and has a keen eye for detail.
