The Great TOMMY Sleep Out
In May 2026, BFV is taking part in The Great Tommy Sleep Out.
This was originally planned for March, but due to recent surgery, we've had to push the date back. The mission hasn't changed, just the timing!
Every night, thousands of veterans right here in the UK are facing the harsh reality of sleeping rough. Together, we can change it. I'll be swapping the comfort of my bed for one night under the stars. No frills. No luxury. Just me, my sleeping bag and the cold.
Every pound you donate will go directly to Royal British Veterans Enterprise (RBVE), helping provide safe homes, mental health support, employment opportunities, and a community of veterans who support each other.
This isn't just a fundraiser, it's a statement: we don't leave our veterans behind.

Blokes & Bloom
Last night BFV founder (Dominic Ibell) had the privilege of attending a local event in Garstang, Lancashire in support of Andy’s Man Club (Organised by bells and daisies florist), a fantastic charity creating safe spaces for men to talk, connect, and find support. It was a great opportunity to meet local people and businesses, share conversations that matter, and even tried my hand at flower arranging. A brilliant evening with plenty of laughs and a powerful reminder of the importance of community.
If you’re not familiar with the work Andy’s Man Club does, it’s well worth taking a look. Their impact is real, and their message is needed now more than ever.

The BFV Countdown is On!
Beyond Face Value (BFV), the new specialist consultancy dedicated to helping organisations compete, win and deliver with confidence, has officially launched and the countdown to its full market rollout is rapidly accelerating.
With its new website now live at www.bfv-ltd.co.uk, BFV is already attracting strong interest from clients across the public, private and regulated sectors.
Founded on the principle that successful organisations combine clarity, structure and momentum, BFV brings together deep expertise in competitive tendering, organisational design, operational improvement and strategic delivery support. The firm is built to provide the blend of insight, rigour and hands on capability that many organisations struggle to access from traditional consultancies.
“I created BFV to offer something different,” said the Founder. “Clients don’t just need advice they need clarity when things are complex, structure when teams are stretched, and practical support when progress matters most. That’s exactly what BFV is designed to deliver.”
Early conversations with industry leaders suggest strong appetite for BFV’s approach, particularly in sectors where competition is intensifying and the demand for dependable delivery is increasing.
With branding established, service lines defined and early client engagements underway, momentum is already building. Over the coming weeks, BFV will release additional insights and thought leadership pieces designed to set a new standard for practical, outcomes focused consultancy.
As the countdown continues, BFV is well on its way to becoming a fresh, confident voice in the consultancy landscape, one committed to helping organisations unlock their potential and succeed beyond expectations.
