Bio
Brendan Hanlon
Bevis generously volunteered his time to work with Just a Drop and more than surpassed our expectations. His approach was professional and with authority, he asked the right questions and provided a response to our brief within days. He's easy to get on with and obviously has a comprehensive knowledge of his area - I'd have no hesitation in recommending him.
Ella Stanbrook
Bevis was hugely helpful to me as an informal mentor when I was new to the charity sector. He was always so willing to provide expert advice, using his many years of experience, whenever I had an issue that I asked for his thoughts on. It was great to work with him.
Adrian Monti
I have worked on various projects with Bevis for more than a decade. I first came into contact with him when he worked at The British Skin Foundation and more recently with Sarcoma UK. In both roles, he has been excellent to work with. He knows exactly what a journalist- in my case for national titles- requires. He works hard to ensure interviews, statistics, additional information and access to photos are easily available. As well as offering many patient case studies/expert comment for the likes of the Daily Mirror, Daily Mail and Runner’s World, earlier this year we worked together on The Loneliest Cancer project for Sarcoma UK. Again, Bevis was hugely professional, efficient and helped make the finished document something we were all proud to have worked on. Bevis has a natural helpful and ‘can do’ attitude which makes him one of my reliable contacts I turn to for various health or human interest stories.
