Before venturing into the dynamic realm of Enriched Horizons, Ben spent a significant portion of his life dedicated to a charitable non-profit organisation situated in the coastal regions of Cambodia. This eight-year commitment was a transformative chapter in his life.

His commitment to environmental conservation was evident through spearheading marine conservation efforts, working tirelessly to protect and restore the fragile marine ecosystems of the region.

With a background as a published marine scientist, Ben brings a wealth of expertise to his mission.

He's not just an advocate but a hands-on participant in preserving the delicate ecological balance of our planet.

Ben is a Chartered Environmentalist, a recognition that illustrates his unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. This designation isn't just a title; it reflects years of hard work, education, and dedication to creating communities that are more environmentally conscious.

The Global Shapers initiative brings together individuals who share a common vision of a better future and the drive to turn that vision into a reality.

At the core of Ben's aspirations lies an unyielding dedication to enhancing global sustainability and crafting a world that is not just environmentally conscious but genuinely livable. With Enriched Horizons as his platform, he collaborates with clients who share his fervent commitment to creating a positive impact on our world. This isn't just a business venture; it's a vehicle for driving meaningful change, one project at a time.
