Many of our clients hail from the world of media and advertising and this is an area we do specialise in and love working in. But don’t let that hold you back if you are visiting us from banking, IT, retail or have a local SME with people who want to learn- we’d love to hear from you.
This is a small selection of the testimonials from some of Bec Development’s long-standing and highly supportive clientele. We have many others if required.
“We have worked with Helen for a number of years, every one of them enjoyable! Helen is the most committed, vibrant and at times challenging (in a good way) trainer I could hope to work with in our business. Helen has helped me to focus attention, and answer questions I hadn’t thought of to deliver programmes that are on brief, part of our culture and relevant and practical for all participants. Helen is universally liked and trusted by all levels of our business from senior management to up and coming managers, this is in part down to her sense of fun, her no nonsense hands on approach and her realistic solutions to everyday issues. Helen is exceedingly generous with her time, will always go the extra mile and comes up with unique propositions that fit the individual business and its needs…..”
Emma Johnson,
Head of T&D, MediaCom
“For me, coaching with Helen has been a hugely valuable and worthwhile experience. By having someone there to talk through my thinking around my career development, I have been able to identify and set clear goals. Helen’s ability to capture what I have said, and point out the things I was (probably deliberately) not saying has helped me learn and develop both as a person as well as a professional. Coaching gave me clarity, a more defined sense of direction, immensely constructive feedback which resulted in an increased self-confidence, all delivered with great trust and support. I would recommend coaching, and particularly with Helen, to anyone who recognizes that they would like / need to change, but is unsure how.”
Karin Seymour,
Agency Account Director, News International
“I have worked with Helen through a number of coaching sessions and have benefitted significantly from them.
In our sessions we focused on specific business issues I was facing. We discussed potential solutions and I was able to identify the best way of successfully resolving them. I learnt a number of new techniques which I continue to successfully apply on an on-going basis even though our coaching sessions have now ended. I found Helen a positive and supportive coach who helped me improve my management skills for my benefit and that of the business. I am more than happy to recommend her.”
Andy Whitaker,
Finance & Operations Director, ITV Breakfast
“Initially sceptical of the whole coaching / mentoring process I am now a convert. My introduction to Bec Development was through an internal assessment centre that they had been selected to run on behalf of my employer. As a candidate the process was well thought through and as much as possible in those scenarios I felt reasonably comfortable and “relaxed”. I have subsequently participated in other assessments alongside Bec Development.
The coaching sessions I embarked on with Helen post assessment centre are always rewarding. Having set the ground rules early, I immediately felt comfortable sharing information, thoughts and frustrations with Helen. I also feel reinvigorated and motivated to push ahead with the plans formulated during coaching sessions. In summary the coaching sessions have been a key part of my development over the last 18 months.”

Business Director, Norland
“Helen Tiffany has been invaluable to me throughout my career in publishing and has been a constant source of support and advice.
Her training skills are the best I have experienced and as an out of office mentor she has been a great support to me.
I have used Bec Development for training courses for myself and my team and will continue to do so. I would have no hesitation to recommend Helen and Bec Development to anyone.”
Chris Cooke,
Publishing Director, St John Patrick Publishers
“The coaching sessions with Helen were really good. Helen’s approach of identifying the issues holding you back in your work and helping you to find solutions to deal with the issues, was really beneficial to me. It gave me some great insights into dealing with my staff members and people I report into.”
Jason DeBruin,
Corprate Finance Controller EMEA, DDB
“We have recently re-designed our appraisal process and were aware that some of our managers would definitely benefit from some training. Helen ran 6 courses for us covering both appraisal fundamentals and motivational appraisals. Both courses received fantastic feedback. Since this training, we’ve noticed that more appraisals have taken place than ever before and our managers now seem so much clearer on how to follow best practice when conducting such an important meeting.”
