Hub Mentors

Learn the hard lessons the easy way with our mentor matchmaking service. We’ll pair you with somebody who’s been-there-done-that, and has the knowledge and know-how to get you where you need to be.

Whether you’re looking for experience in a niche sector, a black book of contacts and connections, or just somebody to keep you accountable – there’s a Mentor for you at The Growth Hub Gloucestershire. 

Pursuing success together

From innovative startups to established enterprises, our Hub Mentors are dedicated to empowering every Gloucestershire business with insights and strategies for sustained growth and success.

The magic of mentorship

Our Hub Mentors are passionate about helping Gloucestershire businesses be the best they can be. As a partner on your journey, they’re more than just advisors – using their experience, connections, and knowledge to guide you through your challenges and find the fastest route to where you want to be.

To find out more about our Hub Mentor and Mentor+ programmes – please contact your local Growth Hub.

How our matchmaking works

We don’t just match you with whoever’s available, we work hard to find the right mix of chemistry and character – not to mention the specific skills and sector experience you need. Your Navigator will introduce you to the Mentor they think suits you best, but you’ll have the final say whether it’s the right fit.

Meet our mentors

Each of our Mentors has navigated the challenges, celebrated the victories, and honed their skills over years of senior experience, entrepreneurialism, and business foundership.

Interested in becoming a mentor?

Do you want to inspire the next generation of Gloucestershire entrepreneurs, or would you like to work with established business leaders to overcome their complex challenges?
