Stephen Ballard, Managing Director

Having started his career at one of the UK’s leading B2B advertising agencies, Stephen formed a specialist communications agency in 1980 to focus on the energy, manufacturing and communications industries.

As Managing Director, Stephen maintains that same focus today, a focus that has transformed BCM Public Relations into a business with global clients and a presence in key locations around the world.

Jane Proctor, Operations Director

Overseeing the commercial aspects of running hundreds of projects a year across twenty-four countries, seventeen different vertical markets and invoicing in six different countries keeps Jane busy. The same is true in managing staff across three continents in four different time zones.

Ensuring that all projects are on-track and on budget, using BCM’s real-time project management system, in close relation with the practice heads and the company’s finance team, is a cornerstone of BCM’s success.
