You know what, I was one of the people commenting about you being a rich kid and after watching this I’m sorry i thought that. This video is a perfect explanation on how not to judge someone based solely on who they were born to, good luck Ben I wish you every success and your parents clearly brought you up right 👍
Im not being funny cos he's a nice bloke and obviously works very hard but he clearly stated that his dad left him a multi million pound business and he sold it. Yes it had dept but he will still have got a huge lump of cash for selling it to investors. I was very impressed by his story though and he has done well. What I get from this story and all the other stories he has told is what a true gent/legend his dad was! I feel his pain losing a man so influential in his life at a young age.
@@simong7735 Lol I went to private school my whole life and live in a 700k house that my nan left to me in her will, which has a 2acres of field and and half ana acre of woodland, so I was seriously thinking of digging my own lake myself yeah, but I don't know if I have time with my surveying businesses to be honest.
I’m so glad you made this video. I originally thought “who’s this rich kid?”. Not because I didn’t like you, but because I was interested. Then I read about your dad and nothing else really mattered. You’ve done a great job. You’ve worked bloody hard and you’ve pulled together all your experience and resources to make your life your best life. You don’t need to run your dads business to honour your dad. You need to do why makes you happy to honour him. And I’m sure you’d give everything up to have him back. So. You do you. Keep it real, brother.
Being a father myself to 4 kids, your a credit to your Dad. Both your parents cleary installed hard work and graft in you. Please ignore the trolls. You could of easily walked away and not worked another day in your life but chose to work hard to continue to achieve. Full credit to you Ben. Keep going, keep pushing those boundaries mate.
I'll be completely honest, i wasn't your biggest fan when you featured on Mats channel, but after hearing your story fully and hearing about the sad passing of your dad, you've warmed on me a lot! I also lost my dad who was my best friend suddenly in 2020 too, and it was the biggest, most heartbreaking thing I've ever gone through. To see somebody bounce back from it so quickly and triumph through everything that follows it, I know your dad would be immensely proud of you and everything you've achieved since then. Keep up the hard work sir
Thank you for opening up, Ben. You didn't have to, but this story just emphasizes how genuine you are in your videos. You did everything right by selling the Dads online business platform right at the COVID peak. I wish you all the best in your endeavors and hope all your plans end up working out the right way.
Fair play to this guy, I firstly discovered his lake building videos and didn't know about his other ventures until recently. His honesty is refreshing, good luck to him!!
Take no notice of any haters you are obviously a very hard-working person it doesn't matter whether you come from money or not you also seem very genuine and I am a very sceptical person, so keep doing what you're doing ignore the internet trolls and just enjoy your life
He made a website for a company that was already making millions. It was hardly ever going to fail with multiple millions of pounds backing it. At least mat armstrong earned what he’s got.
Go on lad! I’m from a council estate and now have 5 relatively successful businesses. People always say oh but some people are given a better start so it’s easier, well it’s not. The reason I do this is so my daughter has a better start than I did, who wouldn’t want that?! End of the day a start is just that, it’s a START. It’s not the hard work, the endless hours, the stress, the blood sweat and tears, or the results of all that. Hard work pays off. Well done mate.
I think your old man is smiling down on you mate. You're a top lad with a smart head on your shoulders, and this video was a brilliant explanation of who you are. You're gonna make waves in the world and may they be big ones.
Came across you from MA's channel and it's great that you guys (amongst many, many others) keep producing positive content enlightening us on your journeys - because they're what keep me going (unlike the pre-meditated negative press/TV). Without you guys keeping the dream alive for yourselves, hence keeping it alive for all of us followers that follow you and your journeys, we'd all be in a lesser place ourselves. You display the hope, opportunities, the fun times, result of hard work, that we all need, that we definitely don't get from mainstream media. All credit to you.
Ben you have not allowed emotion and loss slow you down growing & building a life that you feel happy with thanks to your parents that instilled the prinicipals and values to succeed in anything you pursue and the way you have adpated your skills into everything you do is a credit to you and how your parents brought you up...don't lose the will and the ethics that has made you who you are...honest and giving 100%...
Well done Ben - You have nothing to apologise for. You have taken the advantages that your parents were able to pass on to you and done something amazing. Condolences on the loss of your father, a few years ago. I am sure he is looking down from above, full of pride.
I wondered who you were and got completely the wrong impression. As I lost my father when I was much younger, I got this video so much more. You’re a trooper mate and I take my hat off to you. You deserve all the rewards and returns from your hard work. Well done.
Your Dad would be incredibly proud of what you have achieved, chasing your dreams and following in his footsteps building amazing businesses. Keep up the amazing work 👏
Thank you for being so honest Ben. What a legend your dad is. His risk taking has sparked a generational wealth that will hopefully have a positive impact on your family for decades to come
a big thanks to your dad and your self for supplying us ground workers in and around Swindon to be able to create the garden transformations to this date, rip kevin
You're DAD! lives on with you Ben he's there supporting you in everything you achieve and am sure with a doubt a Very proud man hope to meet up one day and catch some fish
Ben I hope you see these comments praising you and your family. It is very easy to fixate and feed negativity, but you, in every avenue you persue ooze charisma and positivity. There will be those who are jealous of you but always look back on these days where you lay your soul bare and the positive responses you receive. When kevs is sealed up and fishing I’ll be saving up to come visit and I can’t wait to fish it for some of those monsters.
Respect ,it would be so easy to live off you fathers legacy yet you have made your dad proud and pushed yourself just like he did . Be proud of yourself and hopefully one day your Children will do the same .
I’ve got to say.. you’re such a well rounded young lad! Your dad would be super proud of the person you’ve become! Well done you, you deserve all the success you’re getting!!
I work with my dad. Best thing ever. I’m really sorry about your Dad. I don’t know how I’d deal with that. This is a wonderful video. Good luck with everything.
Respect to the newest and maybe the youngest man to make his mark in history ....well done to your parents for the work ethic and to you for your constant drive to better yourself.
Absolutely bang on Ben that’s got to be one of your best videos yet mate. Well done proud of you all your hard work has paid off. I never thought you were some rich kid but I did think who is this lad gate crashing the car industry with Matt Armstrong and Chris. I do apologise for that mate you’ve worked hard to get where you are today. I don’t know you never met you, but I’m so proud of what you’ve achieved well done, full respect mate 😊😊😊😊
Your approach to life speak volumes as to the measure of who your dad was,,, and how much both your parents invested into you. Striving to be the best version of ourselves is how we Honour those we care about. Wish you all the best in future endeavours
What a nice chap! Humble hard working, risk taker, just found the channel via Matt’s keep it up mate bloody nice to see someone doing well and it only creates more happiness and wealth for others involved.
Well, this was an eye opener. Here's me thinking you were an up and coming UA-camr when you interviewed Mat. Turns out you'd already made it. This explains why you were super cool and not some fanboy. Also explains why Mat said you were super rich! You have a great work ethic and I wish you every success!
you are a fascinating hard working young man Ben, found your channels after watching Matt, i have no doubt your dad is looking over you with a huge grin on his face. Your parents have taught you very well. keep up the amazing work
NOT GOING LIE i had only seen you on Matt Armstrongs videos , but watching your story has really touched me , you deserve every bit of your success and your DAD is looking down upon you every day smiling so proud of you , Thank you for sharing and keep those amazing journey's going :)
Well done, Ben. You’re always working hard to get where you’ve got and yet sitting having food with you, et cetera. You are one of the most kindest people I know. The road to success is clearly working hard and being a decent human being
Hi , Sorry for your loss ,, I know what it's like ,, when you loose your Dad Suddenly, it happend to me ,, many moons ago, You'll never forget that day ,, The Pain goes away but you will never forget ya Dad ,, Give our ❤ to ya Mum ,, RIP KEVIN 😪🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Keep em coming ,, I'm a disabled Angler myself,, Can't wait for the next one 👌
Well done Ben, your Dad would be proud. I too suddenly lost my Dad 5 years ago, still coming to terms with it now.. but what you’ve achieved and how you’ve got on with things is pretty inspirational. I regularly listen to your podcasts when i’m in the car, the information we gain from those is fantastic, loving your more recent colabs with Matt and Nico on their channels 👍🏻
Sad you lost your Dad so early. Like many, I wondered where you had come from, and actually thought you just wanted a large pond to go with a large house - I had no idea you were such a good angler. ✊ I now feel Like everything I had previously thought about where/why/how you was on my TV was very wrong. Really glad I watched this and now have huge respect for where you are. Well done man! 👍👍
Your Dad was always proud of you and your work ethic. You was a grafter and switched on even all those years ago filming in Swindon. He'd still be proud of you now. And I can vouch for your love to UA-cam (you filmed us Detailing the Maseratj)
Bless you brother some take a tragedy and turn it into triumph fight the pain and bring back the happiness and I bet your father is looking over you a seriously proud man
Ben, your dad would be massively proud. Great to see our town Faringdon featured Plus seeing the pub I use to meet your Dad and Ray at weekly on a Friday after work. 😊
I came here after seeing you on the road trip and Matt and his Dad as well as the Tavarish stig lap. Thank you for not being boring! (Even if you do like fake fishing 😜)
Ive watched a few road to success episodes, and followed the lake build on and off but i was 7min59secs into the video when i realised you were both the same person 🤯🤯
Yes you had a great start but you have made the most of it instead of pissing it up the wall like most would. And you can't forget the impact your website had on the business especially during lockdown so you deserve all the success.
Hi Ben be proud of who you are and your dad and mums influence on you! Yes you have got money but you are hard working just like your dad! I am same but without the money! Parents work ethic passed to their kids is so empowering! Keep up the great work! No jealousy just super inspiring from you!
Beautiful watch Ben, I wasn’t aware of your back story and thought you inherited wealth which I’m not against at all. You put your story across so eloquently; I’m sure your Mum and your sadly missed Dad will be very very proud of the chap you’ve grown up to be. Keep on producing content; I’ll aim to watch all of it and support you every step of the way like the majority of people! ❤
i mean he did inherit wealth. he just chose to keep working and making moves with that money. most ppl would of just sat around and spent it and lived a comfortable life.
Brilliant Ben. What a journey you have been on. Just a normal family that has taken risks and seen the highs and lows that life throws at us. But with the right attitude and approach to life you will continue to succeed. These types of stories are an inspiration to everyone out there so keep up the good work
R.I.P Kev. Good luck to you bro, life has its highs and lows. All you can do is, do your best pushing through the lows, and try to make the most of the highs.
Ben ,I stand and applaud you mate 👏👏👏 for everything that you have achieved to date . Your late dad would be so proud of you ,and your mum is still a part of your achievements. GOOD ON YER BEN 👍
Great video came across you a few months ago via matts channel Your dad would be more than proud he’s raised and taught you well Rip to him and keep pushing mate you’re doing amazing !
I have seen you in the background of other videos and have wondered who you are. Now after watching this video, I have a new respect for you and wish you all the best and a lot more success.
incredible story , you really have done your family proud , the internet trolls of its family's money is just jealous but your work rate shows that you would of got there with or without the money , keep going man! hopfully meet you at a car show soon!!
I used to watch Alex on Car throttle years ago but it stopped coming up on my FYP and to be honest i totally forgot it existed, been watching you for about 6 months now. it weird to see you both know each other
Your Dad would be proud of you Ben. As we all are. Amazing work. I've got quite the following on social media, trying to find ways how to move forward with it.
I lost my dad 4 weeks ago. He instilled a great work ethic in me, just like your dad ✌🏻❤️ I bet you’d give it all up for a a bit more time with your dad. Ignore the haters, if you haven’t got green eyed trolls trying to rubbish your achievements, you’re not doing it right.!
Hey Ben, I'm from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦 and got a liking in you from Matt's channel. After watching this video I'm a proud new subscriber and want to thank you for the motivation. I run a small catering company and been on the verge of throwing in the towel but believe it or not you have just sparked a renewed interest for me putting in the hard graft. Looking forward to your next episode
Fair play to you. Yes, you’ve received wealth from your Dad’s business but at the cost of losing him. He would definitely be proud of the decisions you’ve made. Hats off to you 👍🏻
Hats off to you … you could’ve just sat back and chilled but you went forward… I hope you have all the success in the world … you and mat show hard work does pay off 👏👏
What a fantastic, honest and inspiring video. If you can inspire just one person, with this video, to pick themselves up after a loss or knock back, then you have done a great job.
I knew only what I'd seen and presumed from seeing you on Matts channel. Fair play mate! Having that dream and sticking to it. I love hearing people's journeys to success, and this one is amazing! I bet there's more to come as sitting still is clearly not your thing 🤔 I wish you every success and I'm sure your dad is looking down with pride.. All the best 👌
Thank you for sharing this Ben, after failing a fair few times to get my own businesses going this is just the kind of video I needed to see. Loving the lake build, once I've rebuilt my kit back up I might book on. Keep smashing it mate!
I came to know who you are from MA’s channel and now I’m a new subscriber. What an inspiration this video is and you are so humble with it. I wish you all the best and can’t wait to see where you go from here.
Don't let the jealous haters get to you. You're just using your talents and drive to make a good living for yourself. Brilliant idea to make a carp pond, I myself is a pike fisherman and don't have the patience to sit and wait for hours for a strike 🤣 Good luck with all your ventures!
I only started watching you a few months ago and you have become one of my favourite channels. I can’t wait until the lake is finally leak free and you are catching fish.
you absolute legend! opening these wounds for people to see the real you, fair play fella i wish you and your family all the best... I'm glad your popping and your strength is superb bro... big love...
most millionaires are selfmade, people dont know that but i do, so never thought something bad about u, well done and keep going! (yes he is selfmade in my eyes because he did most of the work in his business and helped new companies setup)
What a fabulous upload !! I'm going to be honest Ben. I came here via your appearences on Matt Armstrongs channel. I saw you on there. I didn't get you or your reasons for being a part of his channel. After watching this upload here. I now respect and appreciate your journey to this point. RIP to your dad. I'm sure he would be very proud of you. I'll be subscribing to you from this point on.
Wow. Unbelievable story and what a great dad. I'm sure he is incredibly proud of you not just for all the success you have built, but for how you have handled yourself so well in the aftermath of such a devasting event. Subscribed
Great video Ben👌 I found you on Road to Success. Love hearing about business and the journey. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dad😢 I have recently just lost my dad and feel lost without him. Your dad would be so proud of you well done mate. 🙌 Putting your head into work sounds very familiar. Watching this has inspired me and I want to build our brand under dad's legacy. 😊
Absolutely love you Ben and when you appear on other channels it’s smiles all round. Keep up the hard work and silence on the haters. You have worked so hard. You should and hopefully are so very proud. Much success to you.
great to hear your story, your road to sucess ;) cant lie only found you because of the amazing car based YT family your now a solid part of....also, for those that havent spotted it Ben the jammy little bugger had Hanna Brooks in his van lol she seems as down to earth as i hoped she would be and needs an update hehe
Ben, you sir are a legend. I've had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with you, and to anyone reading this, it truly goes to show: don't judge a book by its cover. He may be ginger, and he may smell of fish, but take it from me-this man is a hard worker. No amount of "daddy's money" comments will change my opinion that he's going places. He could have easily spent money on strippers and drugs, but instead, he's inspiring us all to make the best of our situation and keep our chins held high. I cant wait to see where you'll be a few years from now.... Don't forget.. you owe me a spin in that Hurracan!
You know what, I was one of the people commenting about you being a rich kid and after watching this I’m sorry i thought that. This video is a perfect explanation on how not to judge someone based solely on who they were born to, good luck Ben I wish you every success and your parents clearly brought you up right 👍
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment this. Means a lot reading it 👍
Im not being funny cos he's a nice bloke and obviously works very hard but he clearly stated that his dad left him a multi million pound business and he sold it. Yes it had dept but he will still have got a huge lump of cash for selling it to investors. I was very impressed by his story though and he has done well. What I get from this story and all the other stories he has told is what a true gent/legend his dad was! I feel his pain losing a man so influential in his life at a young age.
@@samdieselpowerand you can do it all with fuck all money too! Put down the Netflix and Ben and Jerrie’s 😂Get Busy!!!

He clearly was a rich kid did you not watch thr first 2 minutes?
R.i.p Kevin 😢 with what you've accomplished since he passed he would would be proud of you
Fellow carp angler, fellow petrolhead, fellow son of a much missed Dad.
The rest is irrelevant to me, fuck the trolls
Great video, well done mate, love Kev's pool
I’m so glad you made this video. I originally thought “who’s this rich kid?”. Not because I didn’t like you, but because I was interested. Then I read about your dad and nothing else really mattered.
You’ve done a great job. You’ve worked bloody hard and you’ve pulled together all your experience and resources to make your life your best life.
You don’t need to run your dads business to honour your dad. You need to do why makes you happy to honour him.
And I’m sure you’d give everything up to have him back.
So. You do you.
Keep it real, brother.
Being a father myself to 4 kids, your a credit to your Dad. Both your parents cleary installed hard work and graft in you. Please ignore the trolls.
You could of easily walked away and not worked another day in your life but chose to work hard to continue to achieve. Full credit to you Ben. Keep going, keep pushing those boundaries mate.
Great sentiment, but it’s Instilled not installed lol
@@maxwellday3551 tbh both make sense
Well done Sir. Your Dad would be very proud indeed.
As someone who knew your dad, it was a massive shock to hear he passed. He would be massively proud of you bud.

Beautiful watch Ben, I wasn’t aware of your back story and thought you inherited wealth which I’m not against at all. You put your story across so eloquently; I’m sure your Mum and your sadly missed Dad will be very very proud of the chap you’ve grown up to be. Keep on producing content; I’ll aim to watch all of it and support you every step of the way like the majority of people! ❤
i mean he did inherit wealth. he just chose to keep working and making moves with that money. most ppl would of just sat around and spent it and lived a comfortable life.
Tell you what Ben, you’re living the dream. Your dream! I can only have admiration for that, so well done man.
Amazing story. Proper inspiring, well deserved success. Living life to the max, making your dad proud.
Brilliant Ben. What a journey you have been on. Just a normal family that has taken risks and seen the highs and lows that life throws at us. But with the right attitude and approach to life you will continue to succeed. These types of stories are an inspiration to everyone out there so keep up the good work
Congratulations Ben. Inspring video. Fu** the haters and trolls. Your building your own future and your dad would be super proud. Wish you very best
R.I.P Kev.
Good luck to you bro, life has its highs and lows. All you can do is, do your best pushing through the lows, and try to make the most of the highs.
Ben ,I stand and applaud you mate 👏👏👏 for everything that you have achieved to date . Your late dad would be so proud of you ,and your mum is still a part of your achievements. GOOD ON YER BEN 👍
Great video came across you a few months ago via matts channel
Your dad would be more than proud he’s raised and taught you well
Rip to him and keep pushing mate you’re doing amazing !
I have seen you in the background of other videos and have wondered who you are. Now after watching this video, I have a new respect for you and wish you all the best and a lot more success.
Fantastic I didn't know I watch you and Matt Armstrong all the time...I miss my dad too... your a brilliant person
incredible story , you really have done your family proud , the internet trolls of its family's money is just jealous but your work rate shows that you would of got there with or without the money , keep going man! hopfully meet you at a car show soon!!
You’re an inspiration to many Ben. Your Dad would be so so proud. Keep doing you 👏
I used to watch Alex on Car throttle years ago but it stopped coming up on my FYP and to be honest i totally forgot it existed, been watching you for about 6 months now. it weird to see you both know each other
Out of tragedy comes grace. You're an awesome man and an inspiration
Your Dad would be proud of you Ben. As we all are. Amazing work. I've got quite the following on social media, trying to find ways how to move forward with it.
Thanks Matt!
I lost my dad 4 weeks ago. He instilled a great work ethic in me, just like your dad ✌🏻❤️
I bet you’d give it all up for a a bit more time with your dad.
Ignore the haters, if you haven’t got green eyed trolls trying to rubbish your achievements, you’re not doing it right.!
Hey Ben, I'm from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦 and got a liking in you from Matt's channel. After watching this video I'm a proud new subscriber and want to thank you for the motivation. I run a small catering company and been on the verge of throwing in the towel but believe it or not you have just sparked a renewed interest for me putting in the hard graft. Looking forward to your next episode
Fantastic story Ben! RIP to your dad. Keep up the good work, and keep pushing forward!
Fair play to you. Yes, you’ve received wealth from your Dad’s business but at the cost of losing him. He would definitely be proud of the decisions you’ve made. Hats off to you 👍🏻
Hats off to you … you could’ve just sat back and chilled but you went forward… I hope you have all the success in the world … you and mat show hard work does pay off 👏👏
What a fantastic, honest and inspiring video. If you can inspire just one person, with this video, to pick themselves up after a loss or knock back, then you have done a great job.
Well played Ben keep following your dreams I’m sure your dad will be looking down on you as a proud parent 👍
I knew only what I'd seen and presumed from seeing you on Matts channel. Fair play mate! Having that dream and sticking to it. I love hearing people's journeys to success, and this one is amazing! I bet there's more to come as sitting still is clearly not your thing 🤔
I wish you every success and I'm sure your dad is looking down with pride..
All the best 👌
Thank you for sharing this Ben, after failing a fair few times to get my own businesses going this is just the kind of video I needed to see. Loving the lake build, once I've rebuilt my kit back up I might book on. Keep smashing it mate!
Absolute grafter 👏🏼, sure your dad would be super proud of you
I came to know who you are from MA’s channel and now I’m a new subscriber. What an inspiration this video is and you are so humble with it. I wish you all the best and can’t wait to see where you go from here.
Don't let the jealous haters get to you. You're just using your talents and drive to make a good living for yourself.
Brilliant idea to make a carp pond, I myself is a pike fisherman and don't have the patience to sit and wait for hours for a strike 🤣
Good luck with all your ventures!
I only started watching you a few months ago and you have become one of my favourite channels. I can’t wait until the lake is finally leak free and you are catching fish.
fair play to you fella. you've made a very successful go of things through hard work which should be an inspiration to people.
Well done, Ben, for persevering ignore the haters and keep building your legacy!
you absolute legend! opening these wounds for people to see the real you, fair play fella i wish you and your family all the best... I'm glad your popping and your strength is superb bro... big love...
most millionaires are selfmade, people dont know that but i do, so never thought something bad about u, well done and keep going!
(yes he is selfmade in my eyes because he did most of the work in his business and helped new companies setup)
What a fabulous upload !! I'm going to be honest Ben. I came here via your appearences on Matt Armstrongs channel. I saw you on there. I didn't get you or your reasons for being a part of his channel. After watching this upload here. I now respect and appreciate your journey to this point. RIP to your dad. I'm sure he would be very proud of you. I'll be subscribing to you from this point on.
Wow. Unbelievable story and what a great dad. I'm sure he is incredibly proud of you not just for all the success you have built, but for how you have handled yourself so well in the aftermath of such a devasting event. Subscribed
Great video Ben👌
I found you on Road to Success. Love hearing about business and the journey.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dad😢 I have recently just lost my dad and feel lost without him.
Your dad would be so proud of you well done mate. 🙌
Putting your head into work sounds very familiar. Watching this has inspired me and I want to build our brand under dad's legacy. 😊
Absolutely love you Ben and when you appear on other channels it’s smiles all round. Keep up the hard work and silence on the haters. You have worked so hard. You should and hopefully are so very proud. Much success to you.
Well done. You’re an inspiration to many. Sorry to hear about your dad.
Yea he’s inspired me to get my dad to make a few million and let me make a website for him
great to hear your story, your road to sucess ;) cant lie only found you because of the amazing car based YT family your now a solid part of....also, for those that havent spotted it Ben the jammy little bugger had Hanna Brooks in his van lol she seems as down to earth as i hoped she would be and needs an update hehe
So nice to have a down to earth normal nice person to watch
Ben, you sir are a legend. I've had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with you, and to anyone reading this, it truly goes to show: don't judge a book by its cover. He may be ginger, and he may smell of fish, but take it from me-this man is a hard worker. No amount of "daddy's money" comments will change my opinion that he's going places. He could have easily spent money on strippers and drugs, but instead, he's inspiring us all to make the best of our situation and keep our chins held high.
I cant wait to see where you'll be a few years from now.... Don't forget.. you owe me a spin in that Hurracan!
Wish you were at gumball yesterday bro! Missed you. Thanks for the kind comment 🫶
Fair play to you!! Thoroughly deserve everything you have worked so hard for 👏👏 and hurry up and let me book fishing on your lake 😁
Great to hear your background Ben, your dedication and hard work is paying off. Keep it up and keep growing! 👍🏻
