Ben is originally from Bristol, England and started his recruitment career in the UK in 2006. He emigrated to Sydney in 2010 with Hudson and then joined T+O+M Executive in 2014 to help grow the Transformation & Change desk, which he did for 6 years, before an ill-fated move to London! A mixture of Covid and missing Sydney led him to move back to Australia after just 12 months, where he took the opportunity to join a start-up agency. He spent 3 and half years growing the business from 3 people to 18 at its peak, before deciding to come home to T+O+M Executive in September 2024.
Throughout his recruitment career, Ben has specialised in working with transformation & delivery professionals, with a strong focus on financial services.
Ben specialises in placing transformation professionals into the financial services sector. This ranges from senior people, ie Heads of Transformation and GM’s of Delivery, to placing their direct reports such as program managers, project managers and business analysts.
Ben is most complimented on his focus on quality, not quantity. He really enjoys leadership and seeing people succeed.
Professionally Ben enjoyed helping others grow and succeed. Personally, he is passionate about skiing, which he admits is “weird as I live in Australia, which let’s face it, isn’t known for its quality snow”. July 2024 brought him a new passion in life, the arrival of his son Spencer. He also supports Man Utd.
If Ben could spend a year learning a new skill, it would be: skiing. Whilst technically this isn’t a brand-new skill, he would love to spend a year skiing – half of it in the northern hemisphere and half in the southern - to get good enough to go heli-skiing.
I only have positive feedback with regards to T+O+M. The key differentiator is their focused and personalised service. The consultants really took the time to understand me and my drivers. I received excellent support and guidance throughout the recruitment process, which made me feel I wasn’t ‘alone’ in the journey, and made me feel very confident. T+O+M gave me access to roles I wouldn’t have had with other recruiters, and they are clearly trusted by their clients.

My experience with T+O+M was absolutely amazing. I have recommended the T+O+M team to many of my colleagues who are interested in looking to the market but with flexibility and freedom rather than being pushed into just about any role by the recruiter. The team at T+O+M really take the time to get to know you and are therefore able to successfully match you with a good role that is the right fit.

T+O+M was great in every aspect. They have great connections with large corporates and consultants knew their industries well.
