8. Overview Testimonials
I can only say that I am sorry I didn’t look for a Non-Exec Director on the Board some years ago
and I would heartily encourage any private company to consider the both measurable and
immeasurable benefits of having a Non-Exec Director and/or Mentor on the Board.
Business Consultants Dublin Ireland
Kevin O’Connor MD, Colortrend
Simply one of the best things our company has done to-date, a very effective way of gaining a
knowledge level that we could otherwise not have afforded.
Dermot Brady, MD, AB converters

9. Overview Testimonials
Having Tony’s insight and experience has been of great benefit to me and my team. We have
been able to draw down on this and it has shortened the learning curve for us and benefited my
team on delivering greater business impact.
Non-Executive Directors Dublin Ireland
Jude Lagan, Lagan Group
I strongly recommend that any business should get a Mentor who will really get to know the
business and team, and then roll up their sleeves and help grow the business.
Attracta Burke MD, Premium Distribution Limited
The personal benefits for me working with Joe has resulted in a more rounded and informed
Managing Director with an aptitude for strategy, budgeting, human resources and the
importance of finance.
Emerson Palmer, MD of XM Solutions

10. Overview Testimonials
I have much increased customer care and have client awareness procedures in place. Everything
I do now in relation to the customer is geared towards giving them a fantastic service and
motivating them to return to us in the future.
Headhunting Dublin Ireland
Kevin Flynn, MD, ICreative
Mentoring has given me the business confidence to develop my start-up business. It has given
my business credibility when speaking to new clients. I can now be identified as a business with
technical experience in my industry sector as well as having the backup of a very experienced
business mentor. This type of business start-up support is invaluable in helping me immediately
identify and correct any issues, misinformation or inappropriate methods when executing
different strategies.
Liam McBarron, MD of EcoSense
What I valued was having a sounding board; the ability to talk things through; getting objectives
observations and sound help with planning to various issues and opportunities.
CEO, Engineering Company

11. Overview Testimonials
Tony’s strategic planning was invaluable, he helped us develop plans for expansion, and kept us
on course to grow the business. Today the Dublin Meat Company is doing a booming business,
despite the tough economy and the family is considering expanding again. Business mentoring
isn’t a luxury in small business; it’s a necessity. Family businesses especially need a strong
mentor to provide an objective opinion.
Business Development Dublin Ireland
Brian O’Leary, Managing Director, Dublin Meat Company
Working on the company’s strategic plan was in itself a great experience but having a Mentor
there to help on the execution made all the difference and both the team and I were left with
the learnings of the process.
CEO, Manufacturing Company
The combination of a structured process, new skills and excellent facilitation made our strategic
review an undoubted success. As a team we are now clearer on our individual and collective
objectives and we are looking forward to reaching our agreed vision.
MD, Consumer Retail Chain

12. Overview Testimonials
Having this objective view and sectoral experience has really strengthened our team and given a
new rigour to our monthly management and board meetings.
MD, Healthcare Company
I have used Mentors.ie as a really robust resource to think about innovative ways to not just
incrementally augment what we do, but to think differently about how we do it.
CEO, Packaging Company
Very helpful as we start to not only put together plans, but to actually execute tactics against
them.
Interim Marketing Solutions Dublin Ireland
CEO, Food Distribution Company

13. Overview Case Studies
Kevin O’Connor says of Tommy, ” He is respected and liked by both his
fellow Directors and Management and he has made a significant
contribution across the breath of the company including manufacturing & operations, sales &
marketing and administration. His ability to Mentor the other Directors, some of whom have
little experience at Board level, has been very beneficial. Furthermore it has proven motivational
for the employees in the company to witness the presence of Tommy on our Board and
appreciating the efforts the company is making to grow the business”.
If there is anyone similar to myself, young, driven by ambition, absolutely
committed to exceeding their Client’s expectations, without a degree or years
of experience in every aspect of business, then they should seriously consider
the Mentoring process.
I have experienced the results directly on my own business. The personal benefits for me
working with Joe has resulted in a more rounded and informed Managing Director with an
aptitude for strategy, budgeting, human resources and realisation of the importance of finance.
Both myself and my business are far better equipped to manage our continued business growth
due to the structures that are now in place with XM Solutions as a direct result of the mentoring
process.
Marketing Dublin Ireland

14. Overview Case Studies
Barry’s specific area was to grow sales and we
needed a structured approach to our sales and
marketing functions, says Burke. Barry brought this discipline and we benefited from bringing
processes and procedures to our sales functions. At first there was a bit of resistance but very
quickly everyone bought into Brennan’s assistance, the company increased sales by
15%, something Burke sees as just the start. More importantly for her, she reports that
processes have taken the stress out of the sales process.
I began working with Tony Ritchie, Financial Mentor with Mentors.ie, and
focused on what the market was demanding – quality products at lower
costs. With Tony’s mentoring on organization and strategic planning, the
Dublin Meat Company quickly established themselves as a premium
butcher offering wholesale prices in a retail environment and giving consumers the chance to
buy 100% Irish Beef, Pork, Bacon and Lamb at up to 40% off of supermarket prices. The company
expanded in 2008 with a new shop in Kinsealy, and again later that year with a new location in
Swords, tripling their market share at a time when families were starting to experience the
global cash crunch.
