Minister leads call for more business mentors
Business and Enterprise Minister Mark Prisk is today leading the call for more organisations to sign up to the Mentorsme portal and join the national mentoring network.
Over 100 mentoring organisations are already part of the initiative - more than double the number available when the service was first launched in July 2011.
The Minister will today be holding a workshop with up to 60 of the mentoring organisations currently available through the portal. They will discuss ways in which they can boost the demand for mentors so that small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from the services on offer.
Business and Enterprise Minister Mark Prisk said:
“The Government is committed to helping entrepreneurs get the advice and support they need to start and grow their business. Business mentors will pass on their knowledge to the next generation of entrepreneurs allowing them to boost their business and help grow the UK economy.
