Ben has been running Haslar with a smile for donkey's years. He started his working life shuffling across the English Channel and Bay of Biscay working on board P&O ferries, fresh from graduating with degree in Maritime Studies and Water Based Leisure Management (his first year in 1994/5 was the last year Solent University based their maritime faculty in Warsash).
Ben loves being out on the water, and out in the great outdoors. He loves his cycling (and has clocked up over 2,000 miles in Europe and Russia), but has recently focused his energies on running ready for the London Marathon - inspired to run it for the first time for a charity started by Haslar Berth Holders. At home, with his wife and two daughters, he loves playing different guitar styles from blues to jazz, and lately can be heard working on his picado with his flamenco guitar.
Ben is a major force behind the sustainability goals in boatfolk and our annual 'big green bike ride', which always involves more hills than is strictly necessary!
