David Beeney

David Beeney has committed the rest of his working life to reducing the stigma of mental health in the workplace. He enjoyed a successful career in newspapers and magazines for over 30 years. He always knew that he wanted to do something different at the latter end of his career, he just didn't know what that would be!

He now feels he has found true purpose in life and is helping many of the leading brands in the UK to create kinder, more compassionate cultures of trust through his organisation Breaking the Silence. He was recognised in 2018 as one of the top 101 influencers globally on employee engagement. He is also a qualified Mental Health Counsellor affiliated to the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Practitioners) and a trustee for Mind.
