It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it!

Ben has worked everywhere from Canary Wharf Tower (when there were no lifts or stairs forcing him to travel in a crane bucket up the building) to Sony Music.
He has worked in a vast range of roles including hardware support, Network Support, Online Business Dev, Infrastructure Support & Infrastructure management. His strong commercial orientation and understanding of the importance and context of his role plays a large part in helping support and drive the profitability of organisations.
Why I Joined The Analogies Project
“I wanted to be part of the project to help people realise security aren’t the team that say no, but support people to do the right thing the right way.”
