By the time he finished, he had put the project on a strong footing." and "My interaction with Ben was during his secondment to the Royal Academy during the initial phase of establishing the Global Prize for Engineering now known as the Queen Elizabeth Prize.

He is an effective and efficient person with very good interpersonal skills."
