As a Chamber, we have over 20 year’s experience in delivering business mentoring. We are immensely proud that 98% of those involved in our previous programme would highly recommend the mentoring service to others. Our investment in leading software ensures the best experience for mentors and mentees alike, with mentoring now able to take place seamlessly online, which is particularly important for the future of work.
Using a combination of our new online business mentoring software platform and a consultative approach, we will identify your business development objectives and ambitions. You and your business will then be carefully matched with a mentor who has the skills and experience to meet your needs.
Become a Mentee:
Are you an ambitious leader looking to grow or develop your business? A business mentor can give you an independent view of your organisation and provide invaluable knowledge and insights to help you succeed. Engaging with a mentor can help guide your strategy and ensure that you’re meeting objectives, addressing key issues and exploiting your opportunities to grow.
Benefits of joining the programme as a mentee include:
- Work with experienced business professionals in your sector
- Learn from their successes and failures
- Opportunity to develop new skills and knowledge
Some of the areas we can provide support in include:
- Finance
- Marketing support
- Internationalisation
- Customer service
- Talent management
- Online sales
For Mentors:
Business mentors have the opportunity to share skills and expertise with a learner, helping to shape successful businesses of the future. Not only is this an opportunity to give back; mentoring offers the chance to develop leadership and coaching skills, be inspired by new ideas and make new connections.
Benefits of joining the programme as a mentor include:
- Recognition as a subject matter expert and leader
- Assist someone and give something back to your community
- Opportunity to reflect on personal goals and practices
- Exposure to fresh perspective and ideas
