Ben Hewitt

Ben’s innate numerical comprehension and ability to understand complex mathematical concepts organically, drew him towards business from an early age. 

After studying Mathematics and Accounting and Financial Management at Loughborough University, Ben qualified as a Chartered Accountant with a leading international accountancy practice. During this time, he gained experience in the Forensic Investigation Services, Audit and the Deal Advisory teams, before eventually moving across to join Nat, Jack and Josh at their specialist R&D consultancy. 

Ben co-founded Apogee, gaining the opportunity to make a difference for many innovative UK companies by guiding them through the various funding mechanisms available, and being a small part of their journey to develop some of the most exciting new products, processes, and services in the market. 

Using his unique skillset, he took responsibility for the financial management of the company, ensuring Apogee’s financial stability despite the turbulent economic environment of the 2020’s. 

Ben is a keen sportsman, spending his time either playing or watching any and every form of sport, having consistently played for multiple competitive sports teams throughout his life. Attracted to any athletic pursuit, he has most recently developed a passion for running, competing in both the London and Manchester marathons.

  • I would 100% recommend Jack and his team. R&D claims are a minefield and have to be done right. With Jack and team guiding us, I am comfortable we’re following all the latest protocols.

    Ed Taylor

  • Jack and the team made light work of making a technical and sometimes seemingly complex and time demanding exercise a walk in the park! Apogee truly are experts within their field and I would happily recommend to anyone should they want a pain free R&D solution.

    Mr Edward Grimshaw

  • I cannot recommend Apogee Associates enough. Fast, accurate, helpful, excellent customer service. Great value. I've already sent two other founders in my network their way.

    Emma Clark

  • Really good service. The team took the time to understand our business goals and determine what expenses would qualify for R&D credits. I barely lifted a finger and the submission was a complete success.
