“There are a lot of agencies marketing an integrated comms offer, but BECG is one of the few in the property and built environment space that are sincere in that promise. I’m looking forward to using the insight I’ve gained having spent time on both sides of the table to the BECG team, to support our clients with a consultant team that truly appreciates their commercial needs and motivations.”
