National ambition.
Regional influence.
Local connection.
Join the ABM Ambassador network and help shape the future of Professional Business Mentoring.
The Association of Business Mentors is building a high-calibre UK-wide network of National and Regional Ambassadors: credible, well-connected mentoring professionals who want to make a meaningful contribution where they live and work.
Together, we will strengthen local connections, champion high standards and help more businesses access the guidance they need to grow with confidence, purpose and fulfilment.
One national network. Strong regional leadership.
Business owners face different opportunities and pressures across the UK. The need for trusted, professional mentoring is shared.
The ABM Ambassador Network brings local intelligence, relationships and energy into one national purpose: advancing Professional Business Mentoring and supporting the people who power UK business.
As an Ambassador, you will be part of a collaborative regional team. You will help the ABM understand what is happening locally, make the right connections and ensure the value of professional mentoring is heard where it matters.
Your role in the network
Ambassadors bring influence, insight and connections. The ABM staff team leads commercial development, negotiation and delivery.
Your role is to create the conditions for stronger local relationships and better-informed national action.
You will:
– Connect: Build and strengthen relationships across your local business community.
– Convene: Bring relevant people and organisations together where the ABM can add value.
– Champion: Raise awareness of Professional Business Mentoring and ABM standards.
– Listen: Understand local challenges, priorities and gaps in business support.
– Inform: Share useful regional insight, ideas and opportunities with the ABM.
– Introduce: Open doors and make warm introductions to potential partners.
Build connections that make a difference
Working alongside your Ambassador team and the ABM team, you will help develop relationships with the organisations that shape local business support.
This could include universities, Growth Hubs, Chambers of Commerce, combined authorities, local authorities and other organisations supporting entrepreneurs, business leaders and growing businesses.
This is not about working alone. It is about bringing the right people together around a shared belief: better mentoring helps businesses and people thrive.
A team with complementary strengths
The strongest regional teams will not all look the same.
Each will bring together people with different sector knowledge, local relationships, professional experience and perspectives. Some Ambassadors may be natural conveners. Others may have deep understanding of a particular industry, place or business community. Every contribution matters.
National and Regional Heads will lead the development of a wider Ambassador team, creating a network with local credibility and shared national purpose.
