Welcome to Harlow Business Mentors’ website
Based in Harlow, Essex and established in autumn 2007, Harlow Business Mentors (HBM) is a new venture between two local businessmen – Ian Hudson and Chris Greenhill – who share a commitment to supporting Harlow’s improving economic health.
Harlow is at an exciting point in its history
Multi-million pound regeneration programmes that will transform many parts of the town, a local region that is the focus for extensive economic development and initiatives that aim to improve the profile of the town all add up to a great opportunity for local business.
There’s also a wealth of information available to help budding entrepreneurs and owners of emerging businesses. However, the sheer volume of the information can sometimes feel overwhelming. This is where Harlow Business Mentors can lend a hand.
Helping you capitalize on the opportunity
Between us we have a wealth of practical knowledge about doing business in the town ranging from micro businesses to global corporations and spanning all three sectors. Passionate about the image of Harlow, we want to work with other agencies to change the perception of Harlow from “50 year old New Town full of Shell-suits” to the “thriving, dynamic part of the M11 Corridor expansion” that it is fast becoming.
Our intention is to provide bespoke support to Harlow-based businesses using mentoring to contextualise the array of information available to those embarking on setting up a business. Using a combination of workshop and mentoring techniques we will work with you for as long (or little) as you need to help you make informed and objective decisions about your company’s development.
