Ben was an absolute pleasure to work with. Helpful and supportive with all of his junior colleagues, even those from different teams. Fantastic team player and incredible asset to any team/company he joins.

I worked with Ben for 2.5 years whilst at Fixflo! He joined in the early stages of our Customer Success journey and therefore had a lot of involvement in process execution, onboarding of new starters and pitching in wherever was needed which I am grateful for! He is an extremely personable relationship builder and thrives working with customers and building partnerships with them for the long term. Ben is the ultimate collaborative team player and has always been a great support and coach when training new joiners and helping them become embedded within their roles and the wider team. He has an incredible sense of humour that helps to connect people and he has significantly contributed to building the culture & maintaining morale in the team (he could definitely have a side hustle as a comedian! :p) Ben prides himself on delivering high quality output and he always has something considered and valuable to contribute in team discussions, reviews or brainstorming sessions. He is always open to feedback and guidance and is adept at coming up with well founded internal & customer facing processes. Ultimately, I have really enjoyed working with Ben and have no doubt that he can continue to use his high levels of emotional intelligence and personability to continue to grow in the Customer Success space :)
