Cable unveils business support network

VINCE CABBLE has announced a new 40,000-strong network of business mentors at the launch of Global Entrepreneurship Week.

“Mentoring is a very effective way of promoting start-ups, higher productivity and growth amongst established businesses, so I am delighted to announce this new network.

“I also want to encourage more businesses to sign up and offer their support and guidance. We need as many successful mentors as possible to guide the next generation of entrepreneurs and businesses.”
