Background

About Ben Collister

I consider myself to be a highly driven and motivated individual. I aim to excel at everything I do; whether it be work or a hobby, and I’m always looking for ways to improve and be the best I can be. I was fortunate enough to be raised in Spain, so I’m able to speak both English and Spanish fluently, as well as French to a basic conversational level. After completing my schooling in Spain, I returned to the UK where I achieved a first in Accounting & Finance from the University of Manchester. Whilst at university, I started 'Next Gen Coliving’ with my brother, where we aim to develop top quality, sustainable coliving accommodation in the North West. Having attended a multicultural and diverse school and university, as well as traveling the world for 8 months, I have a broad understanding and appreciation of different cultural needs and norms. I believe it’s important to have a personal motivator in life, with mine coming from William MacAskill’s book, ‘What We Owe The Future’. This instilled in me the perspective of always considering future generations with large actions you take, always aiming to better life for those that follow us.
