Dorset Business Mentors welcomes the renewal of its partnership with Rathbones, extending a relationship that has supported local business leaders since 2020 through mentoring, collaboration and shared expertise.

Our Summer Social brought Dorset Business Mentors together to reconnect, share experiences and celebrate the impact mentoring continues to have on Dorset businesses, with thanks to our sponsor Rathbones for their ongoing support.

As we celebrate 20 years of impact, Dorset Business Mentors is thrilled to welcome Rathbones Group Plc as our renewed sponsor. This partnership fuels our mission to support local businesses with expert guidance and strategic insight.

Dorset Business Mentors celebrates 20 years of empowering local enterprises, having supported 2,500 businesses through expert volunteer mentoring. Backed by Dorset Council and partners like Rathbones, the organisation continues to drive economic growth and resilience across the region.
