Fast forward to 2011 and he was negotiating a buyout of an existing business and securing a $20m project in the jungles of PNG. VAE Group has now grown to over 300 staff in 3 countries.

To help navigate and maximise growth opportunities, Ben and his Executive team have utilised the support of a formalised Advisory Board. Ben shares his insights as a business owner in conversation with Louise Broekman, Founder and CEO of the Advisory Board Centre.
