The Association of Business Mentors (ABM) is the professional body for business mentoring.
We are the “go to” organisation for businesses looking for a professional business mentor. We are focused on promoting and maintaining the highest standards in professional business mentoring. To do this, we continually learn, improve and innovate, supporting our members as they deliver mentoring excellence that benefits UK, Ireland and overseas businesses.
We also champion the impact of professional business mentoring, ensuring that business mentoring is recognised as a vital part of the business support landscape by business leaders, political leaders and policy decision makers.
Business mentoring is a professional relationship where an experienced businessperson (the mentor) offers guidance, support, and advice to an entrepreneur, business owner, or leader (the mentee) who seeks assistance.
The ABM provides an essential link to reassure business leaders that their mentor is experienced and knowledgeable.
When you work with an ABM member, you are engaging with an experienced, highly qualified business mentor who abides by the highest standards of professionalism. All ABM members are experienced business leaders, spanning all business sizes and sectors.
ABM Mentors often practise a mix of mentoring, coaching and consulting, ensuring that you receive the most valuable support for your business growth.
