I have had the pleasure of working with Ben for nearly ten years now on various shows produced in-house at BBC.  He is an extremely talented Casting Director who is unfailingly passionate about his work and is always full of ideas and suggestions when discussing the casting of individual roles no matter how prominent that role might be.  He approaches every episode with the same gusto and passion and it is obvious from the very first meeting that you are dealing with someone who absolutely loves what they are do and that is completely committed to the project in hand no matter how big or small.  I have no hesitation in recommending Ben as a Casting Director and have no doubts whatsoever that he will serve your project well.  I would like to take this opportunity to wish him every success in his new venture.
