Beanstalk was founded by Kerry Stevens, whose personal journey as a teenage mum, completing a back-to-work programme with a job coach while facing numerous challenges, inspired her to dedicate her life to helping others improve their life chances. With over 25 years of professional experience in supporting people towards employment and as a serial entrepreneur starting and running businesses, Kerry has been instrumental in breaking down barriers one step at a time. Beanstalk is dedicated to providing support, work experience, and encouragement to those in need.
