Beatrice was previously responsible for the Towns Fund and a programme of Local Industrial Strategies.

Before joining DLUHC, Beatrice worked at the Cabinet Office, setting up the UK Policy Lab to bring design, data and digital methods to the civil service and bringing people and their experience directly into the policy-making process. Prior to that, Beatrice held a variety of roles including establishing one of the first Social Investment programmes in government, and as head of policy at the National Lottery Community Fund.
