Dan’s favourite BECK project: “The complete refurbishment of the Jumeriah Carlton Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge has been an incredible project to work on. We’ve refurbished 180 guest rooms, the spa and health suites, plus the front and back of house. It’s pure style in an amazing location.”

Vanessa Budd

Business Development Executive

Vanessa Budd
Vanessa started at BECK in 2005, armed with a degree in interior design. She began as a Setter Out before working in other key areas of the business, including Procurement, Project and FF&E Co-ordination, where she contributed to the delivery of luxury hotels and high-end residential schemes.

Vanessa now works with the Board on strategy and new opportunities, building strong relationships with clients and promoting the work we deliver. “I feel humble and proud to be part of the BECK family,” she says. “Seeing a completed project, when everyone else has left, always fills me with awe of what our team can achieve.”

Vanessa’s favourite BECK project: “I can’t choose one so it will have to be a tie between three! The Rosewood London for its mind-blowing Rose Bronze Gallery; The Mandrake, which transports you from the busy streets into a magical hidden oasis; and NoMad London, which captures the history of the old Bow Street Magistrates Court and takes it somewhere new.”
