Bio
Ben Jones
I have had the pleasure of working with Ben for the past two years as part of the Supply Chain Management team within RBS Business & Commercial Chief Operating Office and would have no hesitation in recommending either him or his work. Ben is a confident, engaging and skilled individual who has a real drive to succeed whilst also supporting those around him. A good communicator and effective manager of stakeholder relationships who I have seen to be adaptable at transferring skills across several business specialisms including IT, Offshoring, Supply Chain, Project Management and People Management. A worthy ambassador for the distinguished group of our namesakes.
