Outside of work, Ben is a passionate sports fan with a lifelong love for rugby and cricket. However since moving to Melbourne, he’s slowly converting into an AFL follower. He’ll never pass up a chance to watch the All Blacks or Black Caps take on (and hopefully beat) Australia. He also enjoys unwinding with a good movie, always keen to catch something new or revisit a favourite classic.
