Meet Ben
Chartered Financial Planner
I am a Chartered Financial Planner who is technically on their third career. But this one is definitely the most fulfilling and has been one of the best decisions I have made! I have worked in the industry for nearly four years, coming in as a trainee Financial Planner and working my way up to Head of Financial Planning in my previous role before joining Pura Vida.
Prior to this, I spent a number of years as a failed cricketer and eight years in various commercial roles within Sports Medicine.
I am a big believer that money is a tool and one that should be utilized to live on your terms. It was in my previous career where I started thinking about my ideal lifestyle and how I wanted to live. I am now lucky enough to do that whilst helping clients’ bring their dreams and ambitions to life.
What’s top of your bucket list?
To travel the world with Sarah and take her to New Zealand.
​What are your top three life highlights so far?
-
Meeting my wife, Sarah.
-
Having our daughter, Cara. She brought a new sense of perspective and purpose and of course already has me wrapped round her little finger!
-
What cricket gave me; the opportunity to travel the world, play first class cricket, make friends, and ultimately lead me to meeting Sarah.

Tell us one thing most people do not know about you?
I am petrified of balloons!
