Apply for £500 to work with a mentor and unlock your full potential

Following a very successful pilot programme we’re pleased to be able to offer at least 8 business owners the opportunity to propel themselves and their businesses to the next level – we already have our six sign up and all have been able to use a £500 voucher to cover most of the associated costs.

What does working with a mentor offer? Below are just some of the benefits to you and your business when working with a mentor.

  1. 1. Expert guidance and insights from someone who has been there and done it – avoid common pitfalls and fast-track your success
  2. 2. Networking opportunities – your mentor is very well connected allowing you to build valuable relationships and opening doors to new opportunities
  3. 3. Skill development – learn new skills and strategies crucial to business growth, it’s personalised advice tailored to your needs not one size fits all
  4. 4. Grow your confidence – working with a mentor gives you the confidence to make bold decisions, you won’t be alone on your journey
  5. 5. Set and achieve goals – a mentor keeps you focused, accountable and motivated to set and achieve realistic goals
