Our Objective
Our objective is to assist local companies in developing & achieving greater success by providing them access to
highly experienced, knowledgeable and skilled business
people - we call these people our Guardians. They work as volunteers to mentor developing entrepreneurs.

Could You Benefit?
If you’re a company that has been trading for 12 months,
have growth potential or are having to make difficult
decisions and are based within one of our regions, you
are eligible to apply for assistance.
No matter which
industry you operate in, we’ll work to find a Guardian with
the experience, skills and personality to match your
requirements.

Is It Totally FREE?
Yes! We will not charge you anything and we will not
sell you anything. We receive Government funding and
Private Sector Sponsorship, with which we supply your
Guardian with expenses to cover their costs.

This means
that you can access specialists, entrepreneurs and
business consultants for their support and direction
without any direct expense. Since 2001 we have
assisted companies with over £5m of advice and
consultation at absolutely no direct cost to our clients. |
Who Has It Helped?
The scheme has assisted over 500 companies since 2001,
companies such as North West based High Frequency
Solutions. With the help of a high profile Guardian,
High Frequency lifted turnover from £600k to £3m with
a 3 year target of £10m.

Who Are The Guardians?
Our Guardians are very experienced, knowledgeable and
skilled entrepreneurs or consultants who want to help
local companies expand and succeed. They are drawn
from all walks of life and offer mentoring based on thier experience.
Some are technical specialists,
financial experts or retail consultants while others assist
with HR, Project Planning or Marketing. Whatever your
challenge, our network allows us to access hundreds of
experienced people from a diverse cross section of
sectors who may be able to assist you. |
