Ben Cater

Ben recently found out that he is a ‘Blue’ on the SDI personality chart, which means that he is a real peoples person. Quite befitting to his style with clients. He loves being around people, which explains his love of hustle and bustle of New York. Blue also matches the colour of his favourite team – often found chanting Chelsea FC songs in the office… which isn’t distracting at all! Listen carefully and you’ll notice Ben sounds remarkably like Bear Grylls. You’ll never hear him the same again.
