Managing Director

1 Control

Ben is Managing Director of 1 Control, a people-first, engineer-led business focused on making building controls simpler, smarter, and genuinely usable in the real world. He is passionate about growing the industry in a way that supports independent specialists, develops new talent, and raises standards through practical collaboration rather than hierarchy.

Ben believes controls are fundamental to whether a building actually works as intended; not just at handover, but years down the line. Energy efficiency, resilience and occupant comfort all depend on systems that are clear, properly engineered and maintainable. Ben feels that too often, quality is diluted through value-engineering, inconsistent standards, over marketed products and insufficient training, and customers are left navigating jargon instead of clarity. He believes the industry is incredible but always strives to do better: simpler standards, straight talking, and systems that genuinely deliver. He is also a strong advocate for greater diversity across the industry, ensuring more voices are heard and leadership reflects the breadth of talent shaping modern building controls.
