About
I'm Becx (creative spelling I know).
After 19 years in London supporting leaders and businesses across a wide range of industries, including publishing, private equity, property, creative and philanthropy, in October 2024, I brought my my skills and experience to Harland VA.
Visit my LinkedIn profile for my full career background.
Harland was my grandmother’s maiden surname. It originates from the Old English term “Hare Land,” meaning land where hare populations thrive and I love that sense of energy and movement it brings.

Beyond client work, I’m also the founder and host of Poets in Putney, a community open-mic poetry night that has quickly grown into a vibrant part of local creative life, in southwest London. I believe in the power of creativity to connect people, whether through words, music, or events and that same passion runs through the services I offer at Harland VA.
When I’m not working with clients or running poetry nights, you’ll most likely find me at creative events, sound-baths, live music gigs, theatre, festivals etc.
