Work behaviour and culture specialists byrne·dean are delighted to announce that both Helen Dallimore and Ellie Herriot have been promoted to the role of Director, Head of Training.

Effective immediately, the pair now also join byrne·dean’s wider senior leadership team, and will lead their team of expert facilitators on all aspects of training delivered globally to create kinder, fairer workplaces that help organisations realise their people’s potential. This includes training on conduct & culture, workplace behaviour & respect, speak up, discrimination & harassment, ED&I, mental health & wellbeing, and beyond.

Helen Dallimore joined the company in 2020 as a facilitator, after a career in private practice employment law in large, international and medium sized firms; as well as time spent in house at a global investment bank. Since then, she’s become an essential part of the byrne·dean facilitation team, with deep expertise in workplace respect, inclusion and mitigating people risk, and has recently led on supporting clients with tackling workplace class inequality, and fostering speak up / listen up cultures.

Ellie Herriot joined in 2018, also as a facilitator, after her own career in law and HR that included working in large international law firms and as Legal Counsel at Barclays. Ellie has led on the company’s expertise for FCA regulated firms for many years, and is an expert in helping firms’ senior leaders and wider teams to understand the link between conduct, risk and culture.

Nick McClelland, byrne·dean CEO, commented: “We’ve witnessed the tremendous respective contributions of Helen and Ellie to our training offering, both playing pivotal roles in changing workplace behaviour across the global organisations that we partner with. There are no people better placed to lead this arm of our business, and we’re also delighted to welcome two exceptional women with first hand, in depth knowledge of the wider business into our senior leadership team.”

Helen Dallimore commented: “I am delighted to be taking on the role of Head of Training alongside my fantastic colleague Ellie Herriot. Together, we’ll lead our brilliant facilitation team and enable them to continue to deliver excellence for clients, helping them create the positive workplace cultures that employers are having to focus on now more than ever before."

Ellie Herriot commented: “It's an honour to lead such a dedicated team of experts alongside Helen. Together, we’ll continue to build on the trust our clients place in us, delivering training that supports kinder, fairer workplaces and aligns with our broader strategy and resolution offering.”
