Bev Stanley

Bev Stanley was Ianto Jones' boss in Torchwood 1. She was the head of Information Retrieval in the Institute.

Bev was described by Ianto in Trace Memory as being a woman who only smiled when she wanted something done. Ianto also states that Bev attempted to replicate the image of Yvonne Hartman for herself, wearing the same clothes and doing her hair exactly the same as Yvonne's. This indicates that Bev had high ambitions and would perhaps one day like to take over Torchwood 1.

Bev met her end while showing Mr Cromwell an intruder in the Institute's holding rooms some time before the Battle of Canary Wharf. According to Ianto's account, Bev Stanley was replaced by the afternoon of her death, and she was never mentioned again.
