THE LEADERSHIP TEAM

Founder & Managing Director

UK

Chris Powell

Hi, I'm Chris, Managing Director and Founder of Bespoke Mentoring.

I started Bespoke Mentoring because many young people have complicated lives and unique challenges that hold them back, and it’s these individuals who I wanted to support.

 

My job is part of me and embodies who I am. I'm a people person, I always see the potential in those around me and having six children of my own means I am a great plate spinner! Finding the missing pieces and creating opportunities for everyone is my goal.

Digital & Marketing Manager

Jordan Stevens

Hi, I’m Jordan. I joined Bespoke after working in SEN care and support work for a number of years. I have a background in marketing, so it has been great to combine my experience in both these areas in my current role.
 

I’m always on the lookout for new digital solutions to improve our workflows and ultimately help us deliver a great service to the people we support. There is a growing need for mentoring support across the UK. Within my role, I help expand our services so that more people can access the support they need.

In my spare time I enjoy to travel, see new places and spend time with Friends and Family.
