Name: Ben Ford
Business: The Cornwall Camper Company
Job title: Managing director
Website: www.thecornwallcampercompany.co.uk
At 38, Ben Ford announced that he wanted to run his own business, and he followed up on that statement by devoting himself to it. After launching the business officially just 12 months ago, The Cornwall Camper Company has gone from strength to strength with his steady hand at the steering wheel.
Not only did Ben have to teach himself how to renovate VW Campers (including watching YouTube videos to learn how to spray the exterior of his campers) he has also developed a keen business head with a sharp marketing intellect.
Ben built four VW’s from scratch, created a business that would leave a legacy of memories for all of his customers and is about to launch an investment service for customers who want to build and own their very own bespoke VW campers.
Ben threw himself into The Cornwall Camper Company, and made a success of himself and the business. The Cornwall Camper Company has seen a 300% expansion in the last twelve months, and the business would not be where it is today with without Ben at the helm.
Nominated by Jessica Ratty, managing director of The Cornwall Camper Company.
