ABOUT US
Why we care so much about you
In 2007 we put our swimming arm bands on, paddled across the Irish sea and made a home in Portrush, Co Antrim.  Our first school we had the pleasure to work with was St Patrick’s College in Ballymena. From there we have worked with over 450 schools in the primary, secondary and higher education sector (North and South). In adding to our Education friends we have had immense enjoyment working in the Corporate sector helping employees and Businesses to have fun in the workplace.

Ben Best

Personal Development

Ben has been living in Ireland now for over 13 years and started tree of knowledge 12 years ago. Aside from having family in Portrush it is the golf that sees him reside in the Northern Capital of Northern Ireland.

Born and raised in West Yorkshire Ben then spent time in Scotland Studying BSC Sports Coaching, Development & Psychology. He split his time here in the Scottish Football Association and Primary schools teaching PE and when term was out he spent 5 months a year in New York, USA teaching and playing golf.

In 2010 he was voted Young Entrepreneur of the Year (Ulster) and has had various accolades since. His self imposed remit is to help youngsters and adults realise that there dreams are very real and why not be the best that you can be.

Aside from his love of helping people and golf he has one other love that follows him wherever he goes, Chocolate! When you meet Ben make sure he shares one of the bars hidden in his jacket pocket because there will be lots of them.
