Mentoring has proven to be a fantastic support for thousands of SME businesses to learn from more experienced professionals, to accelerate personal and business development, make better informed strategic decisions, to be more productive and ultimately growth their business.

Our mentors have worked with some of the regions and UK’s most productive and successful companies. All have been on their own journey of discovery and growth and now volunteer their time to share their experiences with those with specific business challenges.

This highly successful and innovative mentoring programme matches SME leaders with an experienced professional to help them through their challenges, helping them develop, change, and grow their business.

What is GM BGH Mentoring Programme?

GM BGH Mentoring Programme, one of the most successful and innovative programmes under GM Business Growth Hub, matches SME leaders across different industries. Mentors share experiences to help mentees through their challenges, helping them develop, change, and grow their business.

With our bespoke digital mentoring platform - iMentor, we will match you with a critical decision-maker in different sectors and industries.

The ultimate goal is to achieve a win-win situation for both parties and unlock growth across the region. 

iMentor - Innovative Matching Platform

It works by matching service users looking for business guidance with an experienced mentor who can provide useful knowledge and help apply actionable strategies. The long-term benefits of which include business growth, increased knowledge, and support.
