Business Mentors in Derbyshire

Derbyshire and the Peak District are wonderful places to explore, full of interesting shops, local cafes, pubs and restaurants. Some of the best-loved towns include Matlock, Belper, Ashbourne and Buxton.

Matlock is a place full of history; once an old spa-town, it has been popular for both residents and tourists since the 1800s when therapeutic hydros (specialist spa hotels where one could ‘take the water’) were built with natural thermal springs.

The largest manufacturing sectors in the county are metals and metal products, as well as food and drink. Federal Mogul, JCB, Denby Pottery and Thorntons all have long term investments in Derbyshire.

Let us not forget the independent smaller businesses such as Stuart Mobility an independent family business who supply rise and recline chairs, healthcare chairs and specialist seating nationwide to homes, nursing and care homes, the NHS and hospices were voted one of the top small businesses in the UK.

Justina said: “Life for retailers is particularly challenging at the moment, so we wanted to be part of the campaign to shine a positive light on retail once again and help promote independents to show that people don’t have to go to the big chains and franchises.” UKBM are very good at helping the small business come up with new ideas.
