We’ve already helped more than 500 businesses to grow, read what our clients say about us:

“Following a great meeting with Jonathan (CBP Mentor) I felt he quickly grasped the issues around getting our digital marketing strategy up and running. He is clearly very knowledgeable but also down to earth and supportive, willing to help and use his experience to assist my business. We set an agenda and I have a to-do list to get through before we next meet.”
“The meeting was great. I found it informative and confidence building and I really feel that these meetings are moving in a structured and progressive direction. Anne (CBP Mentor) and I get on really well and the matching is perfect – I really don’t know how you found someone so apt for me! So, Thank you so much for this opportunity.”
“The group mentoring that we are involved in has been hugely useful so far – it’s a fantastic group and we’re finding that having other similarly placed people in the room really adds to the experience.”
