An interest in development of corporate Intranets led to involvement in
web site design. The development of several web sites early in the evolution
of the Internet e.g. BG (before Google!) led in turn to an intensive exploration
of the arcane world of search engine optimisation.

| Ben splits his summer-time between Lake Brunner, on the
West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, and the city of Christchurch
in the east. During the NZ winter, he escapes to a warmer climate - and
works from an apartment in Bangkok, Thailand.
A dedicated fly-fisherman, Ben also does a little work as a
professional fly fishing guide through the summer... "This has to be
the best stress-relief activity going... walking up pristine river
valleys with nice people from the UK and USA, coaching and teaching
clients the skills needed to coax big wild brown trout to take a tiny
little dry fly!"
Aside from fishing, Ben has interests in hiking and mountain
climbing, and the abundance of local mountain tops provides unlimited
scope for keeping fit. "There is nothing like a mountain top to put a
problem into perspective!" J |
