IT Support Engineer.
Our longest-serving staff member.
He’s the “answers guy”, but he’s also thinking about lunch.
Ben joined the team…
in 2017, after a previous career in customer service working for a classy supermarket (you know the one!).
IT credentials:
BSc (Hons) Degree – Computing, University of Portsmouth.
Best thing about working at Wight Computers:
The flexibility that they’ve managed to provide to me with working remotely! It’s still really great to be a part of the team and be able to work effectively from home, and no-one minds that my office assistants are cats! The commute’s pretty good too; it only takes a few seconds from the kettle to my desk.
Most often heard to say:
“Be right back – just making a matcha.”
Top tech tip:
I can’t give away all of our secrets, but the obvious one is turn it off and again, after that, call in the experts!
His colleagues say:
“Ben’s knowledge of our customers is encyclopaedic!”
Customers say:
“Ben was brilliant at working his way through the problem – a pleasure to deal with.”
“Ben, you have the magic touch!”
This or that?
Tea or coffee? Definitely coffee but not after 3pm!
Early bird or night owl? I used to be a night owl but now I’m getting old, I’m definitely an early bird!!
Savoury or sweet? I’ll always get pudding over a starter, definitely sweet.
Summer or winter? Winter. I don’t cope well in the heat.
City or country? Somewhere in the middle – it’s nice to live in a quieter area with nice walks but I do love a good shopping trip with lots of restaurant choice.
Cats or dogs? Always cats.
