Get to know Ben a little better …
Are you a spender or a saver?
I would say I am definitely a spender as I love to splash out on events and holidays, such as festivals. However, I’m moving towards the idea of becoming a saver in the near future.
How do you like to relax?
The ways I like to relax is going out to the beach when the sun is out during the summer, gaming online in my free time, going out for shopping sprees with friends, visiting different countries especially countries I have never visited!
If money and time was no object, what would you be doing right now?
If time and money was not a thing, I would be in California right now chilling on a west coast beach and driving a McClaren Senna (dream car) around the states.
Who do you follow on social media?
I follow various professional footballers on social media as watching football is a hobby for me, particularly athletes who play for England like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Kobbie Mainoo, etc. I also follow various rappers, DJs, and bands like Travis Scott, Stormzy, Metallica, etc. Not to forget I follow YouTube stars like the Sidemen for example.
Who is someone you admire or respect?
Someone who I admire a lot is Gordon Ramsay, I know he very fierce person when he is in a kitchen but outside a kitchen, he is a gentleman who encourages a lot of passion towards people. What inspires me the most is how he started from rock bottom to become the person he is today which shows to anyone however you start your life, you can become anything incredibly special decades later if you put your mind to it.
And finally … how can a client butter-you-up?
