CONSULTANT, GOODWOOD

Ben is an award-winning journalist, consultant and speechwriter.  He writes for major newspapers and magazines around the world, specialising in cars, the car industry and the transition to an electric, connected and autonomous future. He covers a wide variety of other topics too: recent assignments include an in-depth feature on the boom in English sparkling wine, and a three-day cycling trip through the Scottish Highlands with Sir Chris Hoy.

He is proud to have been part of the team which organises Goodwood’s annual Nucleus summit since its inception in 2015. Billed as ‘the automotive Davos’, it brings together all those who influence the new mobility –from legislators and the leaders of the established carmakers to the founders of the tech start-ups which seek to disrupt them – in order to advance the cause of sustainable transport.

As a speechwriter and communications consultant, he has worked directly with C-level executives at some of the world’s largest companies.

As a former chief test driver for a car magazine, Ben’s favourite stories include driving a standard Mini to the highest place a car can go, the 18,000ft Khardung La pass in the Himalayas, and testing the Bugatti Chiron, the world’s fastest car, beyond 200mph.

Ben’s work has brought him awards including Journalist of the Year, Feature Writer of the Year, the AA Environment Award and the Bentley International Award.
