@CanterburyIndex BUSINESS NEWS More accolades for Kent-based start-up
Just five months after launching the groundbreaking enterprise Goal 17, its founders Fran Boorman, from Tunbridge Wells, and Keith Mabbutt, from Maidstone, have been honoured in a star-studded ceremony as winners in the National Mentoring Awards, ahead of long-established multinational organisations such as Allianz and Ricoh. Goal 17 were recognised as developing and delivering the number one sports-led corporate mentoring programme in the UK. The win comes just weeks after the pair were awarded business recognition from Theo Paphitis having been selected from 370,000
entrants to Paphitis’ weekly #SBS business competition.
Goal 17 delivers an exciting and innovative mentor training programme to corporate clients. With staff retention and employee engagement being a primary concern in the current economy Goal 17’s flagship Impact programme is proving a genuine solution. The company teaches mentoring skills by pairing corporate staff with homeless young people who are on a 10-week football themed transformational academy with Goal 17’s charity partner, The Street Soccer Foundation. This revolutionary programme breaks down boundaries, shifts mindsets and helps everyone involved learn about themselves and how best to work with others. • Visit
