The Macmillan Business English Team
Here’s your chance! Get involved with the next edition of In Company and make it your own! And you could be in with a chance of winning a selection of Macmillan Books for Teachers in the process..

You’ve got plenty of time – the survey will close on Friday 4th of May and the lucky winners of the prize draw will be notified the following week. We’ll post the winners on the site here too!
We are very pleased to announce that Magdalena Sulikowska is the winner of The Business Experience competition that was run in conjunction with the Krakow University of Economics. Entrants were asked to provide a 60 second pitch stating the business case for a product of their choice. We were very impressed with all the entries but Magdalena’s professional and clear delivery got her the winning place.
Magdalena had this to say about her win: “I had a great time during making my 60 second challenge video, so when I got a message that I’m a winner of this competition I was delighted twice! Thanks to Macmillan Publishers that they decided to organize this competition for University of Economics in Krakow and that they give me a chance to see how they work in Oxford!”
Business Experience Winner - Magdalena Sulikowska
We are looking forward to welcoming Magdalena here in Oxford in early March. Many congratulations to all the entrants of the competition.
This is a big thank you to all of you who took the time to fill in our survey. It’s so helpful to us to know what you think about our products and services, and we take all your suggestions and comments very seriously.

BESIG 2010 was another great conference for us at Macmillan. Ileana Chersan, author of English for Law Enforcement, gave a great talk on our behalf, on the importance of multiculturalism when teaching English for Law Enforcement, and our very own Laura Hudson gave a practical talk on how you can make your business English class benefit from digital elements.
