Testimonials
-
I have worked for The BESA Group for 21 years, taking two periods of maternity leave and working both part-time when my children were young and full-time at present. BESA have been very supportive with my work-life balance allowing me to change my hours to help with my childcare and then to increase them when I was able to. The people who I work with are fantastic, fun loving and hard-working.

‘I’ve been with BESA for coming up 11 years now and I’ve made some great friends.They are very supportive and have helped me through an accountancy qualification, having a family, changing my hours to fit in with being a parent, as well as a career change within the association into project management and doing my Prince2 foundation course.’

I have been with BESA for just over a year now, working closely with the Membership Department as part of the Customer Success Team. I enjoy every moment of working with BESA and communicating with all the different departments daily; everyone is very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The group truly values their employees and allows us to enjoy a work life balance with the options of working from home and the summer hours scheme.

Speaking from my experience of working in the Penrith office of BESA, I can remember right from the beginning that everyone was very welcoming and helpful. I really appreciated the introduction of hybrid working which helps towards a better work/life balance and I also think the summer working hours is a really great policy to allow us to make the most of the summer months! I’ve been supported through training which has allowed me to progress to my current position and feel that I am a valued member of my team.

I have worked for BESA Group for over 7 years now and have never felt more valued as an employee. I have the trust and respect to work independently with great flexibility as long as the hours are done and the work is completed. I also work well and with a great team in my own department. The wider culture within the group means many of its people are both professionally approachable and personally friendly and fun to be around.
