Access a Wealth of Experience
From: Mark Prisk
Minister for Business and Enterprise
February 2011
Mark Prisk, minister for business and enterprise has given his backing to Grey4Gold and said it is "essential" that the UK makes "full use of the skills and talent that already exists in the community".
"I am delighted that Grey4Gold has risen to this challenge," Prisk said.
A Grey4Gold mentor's qualifications are rooted in on the job experience, not training courses or theory. They have, quite simply, been there, done that, learned from it and can apply those lessons to solve business issues.
A Grey4Gold business mentor will provide guidance to a business owner or an entrepreneur for his or her business in the following ways:
- Assist the business to adapt to new skills, practice new behaviours and improve business performance.
- Share professional wisdom, make strategic suggestions and warn of dangers.
- Listen carefully and understand the issues the business needs to overcome.
- Build the mentee's confidence to undertake complex tasks to reach their goals.
- Develop a business proposition that will help you find the right approach to raise money or refinance your business.
