He has also recently helped clients add value through their approach to governance – for example using Integrated Risk Management to take a fresh look at the most important high level issues facing the Scheme and then suggesting possible changes to practices to help mitigate those.
Ben takes great pleasure in helping clients through the particular issues that they face, which are always different, and building long-term relationships.
Ben is Scheme Actuary to clients ranging in size from less than £1 million to over £500 million
Ben has helped clients navigate issues around scheme mergers, PPF guarantees, de-risking, and data cleansing projects. Ben recently helped a new client save over £200,000 pa on their PPF levy through a range of measures including submission of an out-of-sequence PPF valuation and a bespoke asset stress submission.
Ben graduated from Birmingham University with a degree in Mathematical Science in 2000 and qualified as a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries in 2006.
Ben joined Barnett Waddingham in 2001 and became a partner of the firm in 2013.
Outside of the office, Ben is passionate about endurance racing (especially Le Mans), although his young family is an even bigger test of stamina!
