Our story

Mentor Group Ltd was founded in February 1996 as an independent, privately owned company, to address the market need for business-focused people development. In contrast to other providers who were input–focused and simply processed delegates, Mentor probed deeper into the issues, developed more creative, applied solutions and guaranteed a business return on investment. As a result Mentor rapidly established a blue-chip client base and impressive track record which continues to evolve.

In 1997 Mentor became an accredited centre for the Chartered Management Institute and more recently for the Institute of Leadership and Management. This enables the company to offer its clients externally recognised certification for Management & Leadership programmes.

The company has grown due to its strong, lasting relationships with clients and by being extensively recommended. Mentor is proud of these enduring client relationships, which stand as a testament to the business value created. Since 1996 Mentor has worked with clients such as Johnson Matthey, widely admired for it’s culture of employee development and currently has relationships with 6 of the FTSE top 20 companies.

Mentor Group now works with over 60 active clients including: the British Museum, Dell, Honda, HP, Met Office, Nestle, PWC and Vodafone.

The company was an early adopter of customer relationship technology. Clients reap the benefits of an efficient technological system, utilised by the dedicated Mentor teams of consultants, account managers and support staff. And the innovation continues with new technological applications for online assessment, e-tools and wi-fi content delivery.
