About Beny

The missing piece
to your EVP.

Beny was founded on a simple belief: the benefits your employer promises shouldn't live in a PDF. They should show up on your fuel receipt, at the checkout, and every Sunday night when you top up the car for the week ahead.

Our story

Why we built Beny.

Beny started in one of Melbourne's long lockdowns. Watching businesses we loved scramble to hold onto their teams, watching employees stretch every dollar a little thinner, we kept circling the same question: how do we actually care more for our people?

Three problems wouldn't leave us alone. How does a small or medium business compete with the big end of town for great talent? How does it keep that talent once it has them? And how does any of us help an employee whose weekly shop has quietly outpaced their pay rise?

Beny was our answer. We took the scale and reach of our previous networks and turned it into buying power: a closed marketplace of real Australian brands, with prices our members get because they're part of Beny. Strength in numbers, in one place, on an app that lives in your pocket.

No more benefits buried on an intranet nobody opens. No more "log in at work to claim it." Add your partner, your parents, your housemate. Content on physical, social and mental wellbeing sits alongside the dollar savings, because the two were never really separate.

The further we got, the more enterprise teams started knocking. They had the same problems wearing different suits: engagement that wouldn't budge, vendors price-gouging on annual renewals, multi-year lock-ins, and almost no way to prove the program was working. Beny solved those by accident, then by design.

The team

Meet the founders.

Two people who've spent long enough inside HR, finance and tech to know exactly what an EVP platform should (and shouldn't) try to be.

Tom Brown
Tom Brown
Co-Founder & CEO

Tom spent five years in London's money markets before relocating to Melbourne in 2009 and moving into financial services recruitment. In 2014 he joined Profusion Group, one of Australia's largest specialist executive search firms in banking and financial services, where as a Divisional Director he oversaw the Victorian business and sat on the national leadership team. In October 2022 he founded Beny as CEO with one belief: the best way to support candidates and clients alike is to give every employer the benefits infrastructure they wish they could build themselves.

Anthony Holdstock
Anthony Holdstock
Co-Founder & COO

Anthony co-founded Beny in 2020 after a decade scaling a Melbourne recruitment agency from a team of eight to nearly two hundred. Along the way he placed hundreds of CEOs, COOs and CFOs, and coached thousands of professionals through pivotal career moments, which gave him a front-row view of why people leave jobs and what makes them stay. His philosophy is straightforward: people work to support themselves and their families, so if you want to keep them, build a workplace that genuinely supports them. Beny is the platform he wished every employer had.

What we believe

Three principles Beny is
built around.

01

Benefits should show up.

A benefit you never feel isn't a benefit. It's marketing. We optimise for frequency and visibility. Savings your team notices on a Thursday shop are worth more than a six-figure gym contract they never use.

02

Pricing should be honest.

We charge on 50% of your workforce because that's what real usage looks like. We don't lock you in. We don't hide fees. If our product isn't earning its keep, cancel. No retention calls, no exit interviews.

03

Built here, for here.

Beny is Melbourne-built for Australian workplaces. Australian brands. Australian data centres. Australian support team. We believe local context is a feature, not a constraint.

A small team,
a real impact.

Beny is a compact, focused team building for Australian workplaces. We measure success by what our members save, not how many features we ship.
