"nathanialI definitely found the program worthwhile, speaking to someone that was external to the business brought about discussions on topics that you wouldn’t normally bring up when considering the day to day running of a business, it added a different perspective. Something that I got a lot of benefit out of, and that was a little unexpected, was catching up with the other mentees, speaking to others that were in a similar situation was fantastic."
Nathanial Campbell, Director Juno Lending & Finance
