Strengthening Dorset's Business Community: Rathbones Continues Long-Standing Partnership with Dorset Business Mentors

Dorset Business Mentors is pleased to announce that Rathbones has renewed its sponsorship partnership for a further year, building on a relationship that has supported the programme since 2020, originally through Investec Wealth & Investment.

The renewed sponsorship reflects a shared commitment to helping Dorset business owners access the guidance, experience and connections they need to grow and succeed.

Dorset Business Mentors is funded by Dorset Council and supported by a network of volunteer mentors who share their knowledge and experience with local business leaders. Sponsor support from organisations such as Rathbones helps strengthen the programme and create additional opportunities for businesses to connect with expert advice and professional insight.

Rob Jones, Senior Investment Director and Head of Bournemouth Office, Rathbones, said:

"We're delighted to continue our partnership with Dorset Business Mentors for another year. The organisation plays an important role in supporting and connecting business leaders across the region, and we're proud to support a network that shares our commitment to helping individuals and businesses thrive.

We look forward to engaging with mentors and mentees over the coming year and contributing valuable insights on wealth management, financial planning and the issues that matter to entrepreneurs and business owners."

Holly Lagden, Programme Manager at Dorset Business Mentors, said:

"We are very grateful to Rathbones for their continued support and commitment to Dorset Business Mentors.

Having worked together since 2020, they understand the important role mentoring plays in helping business leaders gain confidence, perspective and practical guidance. Their ongoing involvement helps us strengthen the support available to Dorset businesses and creates additional opportunities for our community to benefit from specialist knowledge and insight.

We look forward to building on that relationship in the year ahead.

Dorset Business Mentors provides confidential, one-to-one mentoring for business owners and leaders across Dorset. By matching businesses with experienced volunteer mentors, the programme helps entrepreneurs and business leaders gain fresh perspectives, overcome challenges and make informed decisions.

The continued partnership with Rathbones will help ensure that Dorset businesses can continue to benefit from the experience, knowledge and support available through the Dorset Business Mentors network.

Whether you're looking for experienced business guidance or expert financial insight, both organisations are here to help.
