Laurence Benson: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”
The Steeple Times asks entrepreneur Laurence Benson: “What’s on your mantelpiece?” The Steeple Times shares “wit and wisdom”. What’s your guiding force? I fear a 9 to 5 office job.

oh please…..
Laurence, is an amazing entrepreneur, with “out of box” thinking and ideas. His future is bright, and his targets are high. Also he is an amazing individual as well as a friend. There are few people that can match his style of work and his way of doing business. Fashion industry should watch out for his new upcoming products this summer.
Congratulations! That’s very well deserved. I’m excited to see what the next few years will bring you.
I believe that I went to school with Laurence, but that was many years ago. It is certainly a very pleasant surprise to see him setting off towards successes here since we haven’t been in contact since we graduated.
Very interesting business it seems and I wonder what it is like to run a business at his age and how he overcomes various obstacles which I believe every business would face at some point. I hope to be able to hear more about Laurence’s success here which can potentially be very inspirational to myself or many more others.
Great job Loz
Full deserved. Congratulations.
He is an absolute must on this list after penetrating and innovating so many different markets. He offers such a dramatic new age opinion that transfers across all customer facing businesses. I’m a big fan 🙂
So cool. See you in August.
Had the pleasure of spending some time with this young man. Came away very impressed by his insight and the ease of working with him. Well-deserved recognition.
