Ben was brought up in the South Hams and attended Kingsbridge Community College before heading off to Heriot-Watt University to study civil engineering. On completing his master’s degree, Ben took off to New Zealand to work and travel before returning home to help out on the family farm.

Also, the owner of Mattiscombe Farm Camping, Ben was persuaded to return to engineering to help grow PCA’s influence in the South West and beyond.

Away from PCA, Ben plays for Salcombe RFC and enjoy spending time with his baby daughter.
