I've been thinking about you recently. My PCP ended this month. You said that you'd sell me another car when the PCP ended and I said you wouldn't. I paid it off a few days ago so I was right after all.

You were a good salesman - personable and not pushy. Knew all of the tricks.

Gone too young though. Sad state of affairs. Never have liked that bit of road.

Wow. I have only just heard today Ben after reaching out to an old school friend about your death.
Ben my only memories of you at school are happy ones. You were popular and I was not but that didnt stop you from being kind to me when others weren't. You were genuine and sincere and I will be forever grateful for the laughs we had as teenagers. God bless you and your family x little Ben x

We were so devastated to hear the sad news recently of your passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to your family. Ben we first met you almost three years ago at Perry's when I bought my son in who has some learning difficulties, you made us feel so welcome, you were so friendly and helpful and made my boy feel special, I remember you telling me about your brother and how much you loved him. My boy couldn't get over how kind and thoughtful you had been and didn't give me any peace until I had taken him to buy you some beers and he had delivered them personally to you. We came back twice more to purchase cars and he would only want to see you. Ben we're going to miss you, it was an absolute pleasure to have known you and this world has lost someone very special. God bless you Ben

Only just heard of your passing .
We bought a few Mobiliity cars from you . You were such a lovely , polite , happy person . When my husband PETE died in February you were so genuinely upset by it . Never did I imagine I’d be writing on your page a few months later .
Your family and friends must be devastated.
You were too young to go . Heaven must have needed a special salesman and you were the best .
Give Pete a hug from me x
Rest in peace . It was our joy and honour to have known you .
Angie 😢

  • I can't imagine how you are feeling, but I know how difficult life must feel to you now. What an amazing Mum you must be to have such a special, confident boy! Ben was a couple of years younger than my own son, so it's hard to comprehend. I do know this, Ben was a gorgeous lovely person who lit up the room - brilliant salesman, I had many a banter with him over the years. I knew him only from Ford, but he had the personal touch and we had lots in common. I miss him, & have thought of him often these last couple of months. I decided to buy my car this time & not go to Alfreton & deal with someone else. Take care xx
