I had the pleasure of working with Ben at Virgin Money.

As well as being a genuine and very nice guy, Ben has a real gift for explaining the intricacies, fundamentals and best practice of user-centred web design.

He can present complex issues in an easily digestible way.

He created processes that were enjoyable, and as a result were fantastic at uniting various teams.

He never gets flustered and has the patience of a saint when dealing with creatives, developers, marketing people and of course demanding CEO's.”
