Ben's clarity of communication and expertise in GDS compliance has been exemplary.  His speed, creativity and capabilities at creating prototypes - even 'on the fly' - is nothing short of outstanding and has been instrumental in our delivery of a successful project.  His willingness to support the wider teams has helped deliver a successful end-to-end solution within our tight timeframes.  His personable nature also means he is a great colleague to work with.

I can enthusiastically recommend Ben. He has an eye for detail, is organized, sees the bigger picture, and thinks about both desirability and feasibility when designing. Ben is also a fantastic colleague to have around—he's always willing to help out his team members.
