Meet a mentor

We have  a number of mentors and specialists that work with our businesses. A key mentor is Bruce Guthrie – an experienced entrepreneur who has bought, grown and sold several businesses.

Bruce’s key message is to clearly understand what your business is really selling, then put in place the appropriate strategies to reach your current, medium and long-term goals.

Simply stated, “do the right things and do those things right”. See Bruce’s profile on Linked in.
