Ben Penson Bsc (Hons)
Director/Owner
Ben has always had a keen interest in Building. From an early age, it was inevitable he would follow this path. His children are just the same and can often be seen sporting a hard hat and high vis.
Upon leaving higher education, Ben spent time on site to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the build process.
Ben completed a 5-year Batchelors degree in Built Environment Construction Management, whilst carrying out practical work on site in various capacities. Ben provides invaluable expertise to any project. His professional and friendly manner makes him a pleasure to work with and you can enjoy your build process, knowing your project is in capable hands and will be carried out to the highest standard.
When Ben isn’t on site or at his desk you will find him spending precious time with his young family.
