Chris Murray (002)

Chris is one the Co-founders and director of Perform Learn Develop Ltd (PLD). PLD provides mentoring and coaching platforms for lots of different organisations, whether they be companies, professional bodies or charities.

PLD was founded with the development of our mentoring software platform. This marked the start of our drive to find new ways to connect people in knowledge sharing relationships. We knew from our own personal experience how powerful a successful mentoring relationship could be in transferring skills from one person to another.

Scaling that up through online mentoring communities means mentees are able to connect with the most relevant mentor for their needs irrespective of location. The addition of rich online learning support also means mentors and mentees can get the very best from their mentoring relationships.

As PLD continued to develop it became clear just how many organisations, across varied sectors, could drive significant benefits by running a mentoring programme on the mentoring platform. PLD has operated for just over 13 years now, helping to create thousands of successful mentoring relationships.
