Testimonials
Here’s what mentors, colleagues and clients have had to say about their experiences working with me
I had the privilege of hiring Ben into CHEC as Head of Data Engineering, where he played a pivotal role in leading the organisation’s largest IT transformation to date. Ben introduced Microsoft Fabric to underpin a full end-to-end data strategy covering patient referral, activity, clinical coding, NHS reporting, contract reconciliation, and billing.
His leadership went far beyond technical delivery — he managed and developed a growing data team, while also building trust and alignment with stakeholders across Clinical, Commercial, HR, Finance, and the wider leadership team. What makes Ben stand out is not just his technical expertise but the way he applies it. He is intelligent, methodical, calm under pressure, and an excellent communicator. This combination meant he could bridge the gap between highly technical solutions and business-critical outcomes in a way that inspired confidence at every level of the organisation.
I would recommend Ben without hesitation to any organisation looking for a leader who can combine deep technical mastery with strong people and stakeholder management to deliver genuine business transformation.

Ben joined us straight out of university and quickly proved himself to be exceptionally bright and capable. He picked up complex concepts with ease, delivered high-quality work, and showed real maturity for someone early in their career. A real asset to any data team.
I had the chance to work alongside Ben on a number of data engineering projects, and he quickly became someone the team could rely on. He has a sharp grasp of how complex data pipelines fit together and takes a logical, methodical approach to solving problems.
Ben’s curious by nature – always looking to improve how things are done – and he’s great at balancing technical detail with practical delivery. He’s easy to work with, communicates well, and keeps a cool head even when things get busy.
I’d happily recommend Ben for any role where sound technical skills and a professional, team-focused attitude matter.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ben at both Red Flag Alert and CHEC over the last few years. I’ve learnt a lot from him through day-to-day conversations and working together on projects in data engineering. He has real depth in tools like Databricks, Microsoft Fabric and Python, but what I really value is how he uses that knowledge, breaking down tricky problems into something clear and workable.
Ben also keeps right up to date with new tech and is great at judging when to bring it in and when to stick with what works. That balance of innovation and pragmatism makes him stand out. He’s someone I’ve always enjoyed working with and would happily do so again.
