Mentoring

Sometimes a little experience goes a long way

Over nearly thirty years in business, we’ve accumulated a great deal of practical experience — and we’re happy to share some of it.

Our Managing Director also works as a volunteer business mentor with The King’s Trust, helping young people who are exploring self-employment or starting their own businesses.

At Interex, we offer informal mentoring and advice to young people who are starting a business, thinking about their future career or simply need some help presenting themselves to potential employers.

You don’t need to be applying for a job with Interex. It’s simply our way of sharing some of what we’ve learnt and, hopefully, helping someone take their next step.

Starting a business?

Starting your own business can be exciting, but it can also be difficult to know where to begin.

We’ve learnt a great deal from nearly thirty years of building and running an international business — including plenty from the things that didn’t go quite according to plan. Where we can, we’re happy to share some of that experience with young people who are thinking about starting a business or are in the early stages of doing so.

We can’t promise to have all the answers, but sometimes an informal conversation with someone who has been there before can be surprisingly useful.

Need some careers advice?

Choosing a career isn’t easy, particularly when you’re starting out and aren’t yet sure what opportunities are available.

Members of our team have experience across sales, purchasing, logistics, finance, IT, marketing, administration, automotive, motorsport and international trade. We’re happy to offer informal careers advice to young people who might benefit from talking to someone with practical experience.

You don’t need to be considering a career with Interex — the aim is simply to help where we can.

Could your CV be better?

We see a lot of CVs and, unfortunately, many good candidates don’t present themselves as well as they could.

A good CV doesn’t need clever graphics or complicated language. It needs to tell an employer, clearly and quickly, who you are, what you’ve done and why they should want to meet you.

If you’re starting your career and would like a second opinion, we’re happy to take a look at your CV and offer some straightforward, constructive suggestions on how it could be improved.

Sometimes a few relatively small changes can make a very big difference.
