Ben left school and did an apprenticeship in agricultural engineering following on from his farming roots. After a few years of fixing tractors and machinery he then went onto follow his passion for metalwork, working for a local blacksmith where he ended up running the shop for several years.
He later joined Landmarc, where there was just one welding machine which was older than he was! With Bens drive and the backing of Landmarc, DF was born. Ben can now be found, designing, creating bespoke hand forged items and managing all things DF related.
When Ben’s not tinkering in the workshop, he likes to spend time at home with friends in his ‘farm bar’, out on the water paddleboarding, and attending music festivals!
