Ben has worked in the Further Education sector for 25 years, starting out as a History teacher and gradually stepping out of the classroom and progressing into senior management.

Passionate about the student experience and student success, Ben and his teams interact with students from all funding streams at every stage of the student journey.

As part of his role, Ben is responsible for the Marketing function of both Kingston College and their recently federated partner - Carshalton College. This challenging role (£45 million income) gives Ben great insights into the extremely competitive and turbulent post 16 education sector in South West London. From this platform his colleges have developed unique approaches to Marketing that have enabled them to buck the recent recruitment crisis that many London colleges and 6th forms have suffered.
