Ben spent his early career in Singapore and London, before joining HOK Sport in 1993, where he is now a Senior Principal based in London. Ben has a broad range of technical and managerial experience, as well as detailed sports design knowledge. He was recently part of the committee writing a technical recommendation document on stadium concourses.
For 2 years from 1996, Ben worked on ANZ Stadium, the venue for the Olympic Games in Sydney in the year 2000. This technically innovative design won a series of major international architectural awards, including the IOC / IAKS Gold Medal in 2003.
Since 1998 Ben has been Project Director in charge of the redevelopment of Wembley Stadium, guiding it through from initial briefing to construction on site. The subject of much political and media attention, this stadium will be a striking building incorporating many new design solutions.
