Group Mentoring Sessions are “the board you can’t afford”
- Trusted Business Colleagues who discuss YOUR issue
- New commercial and professional insights
- Fresh realisation about your business through others’ eyes
If you are the owner of a small medium sized enterprise (SME) and looking for improved profitability, a feeling of more control or possibly renewed focus and direction, then Group Mentoring could be for you.
It does not matter if you are well-established or a “start-up” or what industry sector you are in, there is a good chance you would benefit from these sessions.
The Group (eight to twelve SME owners) meets every other month on a Monday at the Richmond Adult Community College from 5pm to 6.30pm. Each month there is a theme to the session – so: 30th January (Planning), 27th March (How to Be Lucky in Business) 26th June (Motivating Staff), 25th September (Finance), 30th October (Marketing), and 27th November (Risk Analysis).
At each session, each SME owner has the chance to discuss the challenges in their business – and by exchanging ideas, solutions can normally be found (a problem shared is a problem halved). From March onwards, there will be a guest speakers, who will talk about his or her experiences running a SME.
The Group Mentoring sessions are taken by Norman Jackson, who has worked with over 1,000 SMEs over the last thirty years. To book a place, go the Events Section of the Chamber’s website and scroll down to Group Mentoring.

Group Mentoring Testimonials
“Inspiring & thought-provoking – Norman has the uncanny ability to assess and understand the strengths and weaknesses of any SME. Having enrolled on the RCC (Richmond Chamber of Commerce) Personal Mentoring scheme, it was clear that Norman has vast experience in business, but also the ability to communicate that experience to young entrepreneurs in a way that can have an immediately positive influence on their business (and bottom line!) From SWOT analysis to deep philosophy, Norman will not offer you the solution to your business problems on a plate, but will challenge you to come up with the solution yourself; a significantly more valuable gift. Definitely not your typical finance man, Norman is a creative, humorous, analytically minded strategist who has the power to unlock the potential in business leaders of the future.” Adam Knight, Wings Swim School
