Bio
Annie Austin
Ben has been my main technical contact at Perseus Telecom for several years. He was involved with the initial Precision Time Protocol service offering and proved to be not only a organised project manager but highly personable and pragmatic. He made an enormous contribution to the success of that effort. He’s continued to be my preferred point of contact at Perseus Telecom whenever I’ve needed to escalate technical issues as he has an innate sense of what matters to customers and is spot on with his priorities.
Neil Crouch
Ben and I have worked closely on many projects, collaborating to provide a fully working and manageable trading platform solution. Ben is not only very knowledgeable on networks and trading markets but across the whole base of IT. His excellent IT skills coupled with his very personable nature makes him a great person to work with. A true professional, I am honoured to recommend Ben.
