Mentorsme



The Government is continuing its drive to increase the numbers of mentors available to small businesses. The Department for Business (BIS) revealed that the Mentorsme.co.uk portal now has over 100 member organisations providing 11,000 mentors in total. In addition, 12,000 volunteers have signed up to be mentors as part of the Get Mentoring scheme, with 7,000 trained so far. The Government aims to provide a network of 26,000 business mentors by September this year. Business minister Mark Prisk said: "We know that people who use support such as the type they’d receive from a mentor are more likely to survive and prosper."
