A New Era in Professional Development and Global Business Support

In an ambitious move set to redefine the landscape of business support, Simon Fordham, hailed as “The UK’s leading business mentor,” has announced the founding of the Institute of Business Support Professionals (IBSPTM).

This pioneering initiative aims to elevate global standards in personal and professional development, fostering unparalleled excellence in the field of business support.

The Institute emerges in response to the critical need for a cohesive, professional framework that not only unifies business support professionals across diverse geographical regions but also champions the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and professional conduct. With worldwide representatives, the Institute is poised to become a beacon of excellence and innovation in the global business community shaping government policy and positively contributing to world economies.

A Vision for the Future

The Institute envisions a world where business owners, regardless of their location or size, have access to exceptional business support. This vision is underpinned by a commitment to quality, excellence, collaboration, diversity, and innovation. The Institute seeks to cultivate a supportive global network that drives success across varied cultures and economies, embodying the values of integrity and professionalism at every level.

Empowering Global Professionals

Membership of the Institute offers business support professionals a distinguished platform to enhance their credentials through internationally recognised qualifications. A rigorous vetting process ensures that all members not only meet but exceed the professional standards required, committing to a comprehensive code of conduct and ethical practices. This global community is dedicated to sharing best practices, fostering personal and professional growth, and making a tangible impact on the world of business.

A Call to Action for Business Support Professionals

The Institute is actively seeking suitably qualified and experienced business support professionals to lead ‘country’ institutes, upholding the ethics, integrity, values, and purpose of the international organisation. This represents a unique opportunity for visionary leaders to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of business mentoring and coaching on a global stage.

A comment from the Founder: “My vision is to cultivate an environment where business owners, irrespective of their geographical location, have access to the excellent support they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive world. Through collaboration, we will share knowledge and elevate the practice of business support to unprecedented heights, thereby ensuring our members are not just participants in the global business arena but the leaders shaping its future. If this sounds like something you stand for, then join IBSP on its meteoric journey and become a member today.”
