It is an honour to work with Ben; he is always willing to share his knowledge, avoids looking for blame, and prefers to contribute by finding the solution needed to move forward and achieve the project's goal.

Ken Grant

If there's a person on this planet that can pull together from abstract pieces an executable, viable and sustainable business plan with all the components well thought out and ready to go it's Ben. A very pragmatic thinker who understands not only what needs to be done but what is required to succeed and the magical how to do it. Ben is a gem, passionate and driven.
