“I have worked with Ben on a wide variety of initiatives, and there are two key things that I can always be sure of. One, that he has the skill, knowledge, insight, and intuition to write for any audience - be it for pitches, proposals, or the development of creative content. And two, that he has the right levels of experience and empathy to assume the voices of C-suite leaders, allowing him to develop strategies, messaging, announcements, and speeches on their behalf.”

“Working with Ben unlocked so much more than just messaging - it was real, tangible strategy I started using within days. He has this rare instinct for cutting through the noise and getting straight to the nugget. Honestly, it was kind of scary - like he was in my brain, slicing through the waffle to reveal what I actually stood for. The result? Crystal-clear strategy, sharp messaging, and tangible products. It was fast, focused, and genuinely fun. I can’t thank Ben enough.”

“Working with Ben is an absolute dream. The speed at which he grasps a brief in no way compromises the depth to which he understands it. The work he’s delivered for me is thorough, intelligent, thought-provoking and, most importantly, can be used as an essential tool to help drive new business. As a small startup, I don’t have time for faff and procrastination, so I’m grateful that Ben cuts through all that to deliver something genuinely useful to help me support my growth.”

"Ben took a complex brief we’d been wrestling with for a while and quickly distilled it into something sharp and focused. He brought a fresh perspective, nailed the tone instantly, and delivered smart, considered, client-ready work. His ability to craft messaging that lands and resonates is incredible - and he’s a total joy to work with."

“Working with Ben is a real joy. He asks the right questions, and has an uncanny ability to write out what's sitting in your head or heart. What's more, he makes the process enjoyable, and also spends time to explain the why behind decisions. Not only will you get great work, you'll come away having learned something, too."

“Ben is four different people rolled into one. He is smart enough to have made a career as a strategist. He is expressive enough to have been a published author. He is sufficiently well-connected to have built a career in communications, and he is emotionally intelligent enough to have led several people businesses. This reflects why he has spent his career achieving great things in each of these areas. And best explains why he is able to take a brief, understand the challenge and then craft a solution better than anyone else I know. How he writes mirrors the words he speaks: authentic, warm, honest, succinct, and impressive. Very, very impressive, just like him.”

“I have complete faith in Ben. As a writer who has worked in marketing communications for as long as he has, he needs little briefing to understand the task in hand. I just give him a brief synopsis of what I’m asking for, and he uses his insight and intuition to do the rest, making the process quick, easy, and smooth. What’s most important to me, though, is that he understands the strategic and commercial implications of what he writes, tailoring his storytelling skills to specific audiences with exceptional understanding and nuance. He’s a joy to work with.”

"The strategic rigour that Ben brings to all briefs is why we absolutely trust him to deliver excellent work every time, whether that’s comms strategy or broader comms activation. Ben is a unique find, having worked in super senior roles agency-side he understands the standard and quality of thinking required and that’s truly differentiated by always bringing new insights and ways of looking at comms challenges. The only hesitancy of writing this recommendation is that he no longer has time for us."
