BCL (British Consultancy Limited) founded BCCT ((British Consultancy Charitable Trust).

BCL had been trading as BESO Consulting Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of the charity British Executive Service Overseas (BESO) until BESO's merger with VSO. BCL was then sold to the current directors and became an independent consultancy whilst still retaining its principle of donating profits after cost to charity.

The VSO/BESO merger led to a reduction in geographic coverage of volunteer services resulting in demands from indigenous government development services, non-government organisations and ambassadors for coverage and services to be restored.

BCL responded by establishing a Volunteer division complementing the merged VSO/BESO.

Recognizing BESO's 33 years of experience, a major business process re-engineering was undertaken to reflect the flexibility and cost structure demanded by operating without regular government funding.

A web based administration system was developed with matching organisational structure. Regional management, recruiting, administration and accounting could thence be conducted from anywhere with internet access so reducing potential cost and increasing the flexibility of Volunteer staff.

IT systems for email and back ups were outsourced, dramatically reducing potential overhead costs and risk.

Volunteer UK and overseas staff were recruited all ex BESO and a charity created.

Trustees were appointed with influential backgrounds having had careers as senior partner in a City Law firm, world managing partner in a major accountancy, director with multinationals operating in Eastern Europe, development finance and international relations, retired academic and founder of a medical charity, all of whom have extensive involvement with charitable activities.

In July 2006 an up and running charity was handed over to the Trustees. BCL continues to manage BCCT on behalf of the Trustees.

BCL is available to assist in the management and administration of other charities either as a total project as above, or for specific functions.
