Mel Chee

Director: Benchmarks

Mel is a benchmarks guru: she's analysed millions of datapoints, designed hundreds of charts and presented dozens of client workshops since first sinking her teeth into Beaton Benchmarks in 2005. But she keeps her eyes on the bigger picture too: 'Data is only as good as the insights you draw from it', she says.

Tristan Forrester

Director: Professions

Tristan was a successful corporate lawyer who, in a watershed moment in the early 2000s, realised he could offer the professions more by helping them run their businesses better. He jumped in the deep end, funded his own retraining and was building a practice when we snapped him up.

He quit his job at a top research agency and has been instrumental in building Beaton’s benchmarking and research excellence ever since.
