Coming from a government background into the commercial world as COO for Bob’s Business, I am always skeptical on the benefits of partnerships and subscriptions. I have been incredibly impressed with Connect Yorkshire as a whole, the events so far have exceeded my expectations. Further to these, I recently attended a mentoring session alongside my marketing executive Alec, with Jonathan Straight. The access to such a professional would usually come at great cost, but the team at Connect Yorkshire set this up for me with ease. Jonathan was first and foremost a very friendly, warm, and intriguing person and he spent time really listening to the pain points we have as a business. We came out of the session with some fresh ideas that Jonathan really considered and also confidence in some of the ideas we had already planned were along the right lines. Alec and I have already started work on some of these plans, as the mentoring was not just beneficial for idea creation but highly motivating to us personally. Many thanks to Connect Yorkshire and Jonathan …..very much appreciated
