Ben Skirrow
Mechanical Design Engineer
BEN BRINGS A GREAT DEAL OF PASSION, EXPERIENCE AND APPTITUDE FOR PRODUCT DESIGN TO GX. HIGHLY METICULOUS, HE RELISHES SOLVING PROBLEMS AND WORKING DIRECTLY WITH CLIENTS.
After studying Mechanical Engineering at Exeter University, Ben began his career as a roofing and cladding Engineer. In this formative role, Ben’s passion for acquiring and sharing knowledge, and helping others, flourished, as he often served as the lead adviser on major building design projects.
Ben’s next role, at Flexicare Medical, saw him spend four years working on major end-to-end product design projects. However, his desire for more creative challenges and client-facing responsibilities led him to join the team here at GX in February 2025 – and he hit the ground running.
Ben brings a rare blend of skills to GX. He’s highly adept at tackling design challenges across a wide range of sectors – from high-tech innovations to consumer products – but it’s when engaging directly with clients, “going on the journey together”, as he puts it, that Ben truly comes into his own.
Creative code cracker, customer service connoisseur, professional puzzle unpicker. These are just a few of the words that spring to mind when we think of Ben.
Did you know?
Away from work, Ben’s passion for problem solving extends to his home, where he brings the same perfectionism to renovations and upgrades as he does to his professional projects. Otherwise, you’ll find him unwinding on a long run or barbecuing up a feast in his garden for friends and family.
