Ben is an excellent, operationally minded, Technical Director with a wealth of knowledge in the aerospace manufacturing sector. Ben has exceptional leadership and organisational skills and I would welcome an opportunity to work with him again in the future.
It goes without saying that Ben possesses a very high level of demonstrated technical competence both from an industrial and an academic perspective and when coupled with Ben's energy, passion, and enthusiasm for enacting positive change on business processes and the amount of time he personally spends developing STEM talent it is clear that Ben would be a fantastic asset for any Company.
Ben was an outstanding Technical Lead for the Group displaying a tenacity for improvement and an ability to unblock problems with his knowledge, drive and creativity. He is very adaptable and was able to lead the Ecclesfield facility in the absence of a site leader for a period of time, demonstrating an ability to pull together a team and motivate them to succeed as a group. He has a fantastic work ethic and an appreciation of how to enhance processes and create a positive impact on the people that he leads.
Ben is an extremely dedicated and hardworking leader. He is driven to improve businesses both technically and operationally and shows great passion for developing new talent either through STEM programs or the development and integration of apprentices.
