Over the 10+ years running, developing, and eventually selling my MSP I faced many challenges, all of which, I not only overcame, but learnt countless lessons from.
Trial and error and failure and success – the struggles I encountered running my business were sometimes hard, but they always provided better understanding, greater resilience and, ensured we curated smarter, more efficient working practices. I grew my MSP business from sole-trader, to £350k in the first 3 years, and at the time of sale in 2020, our team was supporting over 100 clients.
I’m delighted to be able to share my experiences, solutions, and knowledge with other MSP owners, and provide bespoke technical and business management consultancy services to MSPs and IT business. Over the last year alone, I’ve worked with many business owners who need guidance and support, for business solutions or strategic advice.
My Clients Say
We implemented Autotask many years ago, and it turns out via a mixture of never having done it quite right, new features not being taken advantage of, and some bad habits, we were due a tune up!
Ben’s in-depth knowledge of the end-to-end toolset we used (Hubspot, Zomentum, Autotask and Xero) meant he could handhold us through optimising the software to make this process run as smoothly and efficiently as possible – and then get the reporting out with less effort too!
Sure, we could have done much of this ourselves, but it would have taken us significantly longer, and since time is money, our investment in Ben was an easy ROI.

Ben has been supporting our business for almost a year. Initially we sought Ben’s support to help with a specific tactical challenge we had around quote to billing workflows through HubSpot, Zomentum, and Autotask. It was clear to me after our first meeting that Ben had a lot more value to add. I found Ben to be extremely knowledgeable, especially when it came to specific systems we have implemented in our company.
Ben was a great sounding board for ideas, and his understanding of designing efficient processes was top draw. Drawing on his knowledge and experience Ben has saved me a number of hours! I have no hesitation in recommending Ben to other MSPs.
Chris Gorman
We’ve been working with Ben for the past few months. His background of actually owning an MSP means he has great insight into what is possible and the technical knowledge to show us how to maximise our investment in the tools we use.
We have learnt a lot about what we can achieve and can see how we’ll be able to enhance what we do as a business over the coming months.
On a more personal note, Ben is a pleasure to work with and both myself and my Team look forward to our ongoing sessions with him and the insights we will gain.
David Nicholls
I met Ben as part of a Zomentum demonstration, and quickly found that he was able to speak the “MSP language” that a lot of vendors can never grasp. Because of this, we were able to engage really quickly.
Since then, we’ve worked closely together and he has been instrumental in helping us implement more automated internal processes within my MSP.
As a previous MSP owner, he clearly understands the practical pitfalls and ramifications of running an MSP. His experience has enabled us to dodge landmines and fast forward to success on a number of occasions.
We’re still continuing to improve our internal stack and grow the business, so having Ben on our side is incredibly helpful!
Harry Boyne
Our first conversations with Ben were in his capacity as a member of the Zomentum team. However, we reached out to him regarding consultancy after hearing him discuss his MSP ownership experiences on a podcast. Having gone through the process himself, Ben understands the pain points of running an MSP, and his help and guidance have been an enormous asset.
More specifically, Ben has been heavily involved in the technical aspects of our Autotask implementation. Working together has meant we have significantly more efficient help desk processes and can automatically bill all our customers out of the system.
It also helps that he’s a thoroughly nice chap to boot!
