About Tim Benton

I am a highly creative and resourceful individual, respected for my work across business and education. My clients range from global businesses - such as Microsoft and KPMG, to start-ups, scale ups and PE portfolio businesses. I also serve educational establishments and the public sector.The vast majority of my work centres around communication; whether developing stronger face to face interactions, listening, presenting or pitching. I have a clear understanding of how to uncover the strengths of individuals and teams, typically at more senior levels but across all positions. I challenge all those I work with to be a better version of themselves, whether they are a student, Start Up Founder or CEO.In 2006 I started Blue Caterpillar Learning & Development Ltd, and for over 15 years I have developed and delivered training packages for businesses and organisations as well as educational programmes for schools, colleges/universities. I accelerated my exposure within the business scene in 2015 by working as Lead Coach for Amplify Presentations, before later moving on to work as an Associate at GSB Comms.Beyond GSBComms and Blue Caterpillar L&D, I work as a trusted associate of Independent Thinking Ltd, and have previously worked with Speakers Trust and TalkTheTalk.I am deeply committed to being involved in the community in which I live; I have been involved in social action projects across Gloucestershire. Additionally, as Artistic Director of Jacob's Well Productions, I directed musical theatre productions, in my free time, at the Playhouse Theatre in Cheltenham. This drew on my experience and training in theatre and my desire to work creatively with a team. I was also a trustee on the board of Red Dog Theatre Company, in Stroud. I also do some pro bono comms work in the charity sector.My clients have included, among others: KPMG, Microsoft, INSEAD, Wills Towers Watson, Indeed, Barnet Waddingham, Boston Consulting Group, Thales, Oxford University, Kings College London, London Business School, Flint Group, Instanda, Pobl Group, South Devon Council.
