There is a group called the Beermat Entrepreneurs who meet up regularly. They are a mix of mentors and entrepreneurs. Its worth going along to a meeting to see if you find anyone suitable. Their website is http://beermat.ecademy.com/index.php

I act as a mentor for businesses but I'm based in Brighton, which is too far away for me to be of service to you unfortunately.
I would go to networking groups such as your local chamber of commerce and see if there is anyone around that you think could help you.
I would make sure that it's someone that you can trust and get on with - the relationship with your mentor is one of the most important you can have. You should be looking for someone who has experience of running different sorts of businesses, can explain things clearly rather than talking in business jargon, and preferably someone who has great contacts. A good mentor will know people who can help you and are at the right level for your business.
Good luck

It depends on the skills you need them to have.

If it is sales and marketing (more sales based than marketing) then we can help. If you need other skills sorry we are a sales development company only and wish you good luck in finding the best fit for your business.
