He currently supports carbon and ecological footprinting projects, ranging from individuals, to products, to large multi-nationals. Ben is also working with up to 150 SME’s based in the London Borough of Sutton as part of an EU-funded project. He carries out eco-audits to help local businesses reduce their impact, whilst developing a local SME network.

Ben joined BioRegional in 2010, having graduated from a Masters in Leadership for Sustainable Development, which introduced him to the challenges of leading sustainability within organisations including Bupa, Leeds City Council and The Financial Times. Following an undergraduate architecture degree which gave Ben a grounding in urban living and masterplanning, he spent 18 months working as a Junior Urban Designer for Studio REAL in Oxford. Whilst there, he worked on market town regeneration schemes and sustainable urban extensions, as well as helping Studio REAL to reduce its own organisational footprint.

Ben has also had various environmental volunteer roles including coordinating a low-carbon community in Oxford and as a Graduate Apprentice at Groundwork Black Country.
