Entrepreneur and prominent business figure, Ben Towers, began his remarkable journey into the business world at the extraordinary age of 11. Despite lacking formal experience, he demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness by teaching himself web development using YouTube tutorials and independently building his first website. Recognising the potential to turn his passion into profit, he established Towers Design by the time he was just 13. This soon evolved into a thriving social media consultancy. As a speaker, Ben brings a distinctive perspective on business, shaped by his early and dynamic entry into the field. His knowledge, passion, and articulate nature make his enthusiasm for professional growth truly contagious.

Before even reaching his twenties, Ben had founded a full-service advertising and marketing agency, earning widespread acclaim and securing his reputation as one of the UK’s most innovative young entrepreneurs. Working beyond his years, he quickly gained recognition for his strategic thinking and tenacity. At speaking engagements, Ben shares captivating anecdotes, including how his bank account was frozen as a teenager due to excessive transactions, a stark reminder of his rapid success and youthful determination. This incident was a pivotal moment, solidifying his drive to excel in the business world. Choosing an unconventional path, he became an apprentice within his own company, allowing Towers Design to flourish further.

Building on his early achievements, Ben has since played a transformative role in major corporations through his forward-thinking and innovative leadership. His roles, including Communications Director & Advisor at GSK and Director at Young Start-Up Talent, highlight his ability to drive progress and inspire others. Passionate about empowering the next generation, Ben serves as an ambassador for organisations like The Prince’s Trust and Young Enterprise, while championing mental health causes. His latest venture, Tahora, explores the vital link between workplace culture, belonging, and productivity. Beyond his business ventures, Ben has contributed to national initiatives as an Advisor to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
