With more than 30 years' experience in the rural sector, Ben Warren brings a wealth of industry knowledge, practical experience, and trusted relationships to the PGG Wrightson Real Estate team in Hamilton.
Born and raised in Hamilton, Ben attended Hamilton Boys' High School before furthering his education with studies in Agriculture at Lincoln University, Sustainable Nutrient Management through Massey University, and Business at the University of Waikato.
Ben's career began on-farm during the 1990s, working across dairy, deer, and beef operations. Since then, he has built an impressive career spanning a diverse range of agricultural and agribusiness sectors, including logistics, management, project management, sales management, technology, sustainability, and most recently as Sales Manager for FC Boats.
Working across multiple industries and leadership roles has provided Ben with a broad understanding of rural business, strong commercial acumen, and an extensive network throughout New Zealand's agricultural sector. His commitment to excellence and results has seen him consistently perform at the highest level throughout his career.
A dedicated family man, Ben lives in Hamilton with his wife Brigitta and daughter Holly. Their sons, Fletcher and Lukas, have established successful careers in electrical engineering and sales respectively. Brigitta owns and operates RecruitNet, a highly regarded specialist recruitment company. Ben's father, Neil Warren, is widely recognised for his longstanding contribution to New Zealand's rural banking industry.
Outside of work, Ben enjoys an active lifestyle and is passionate about giving back to his community. He is a committee member of the Raglan Sport Fishing Club and has a keen interest in fishing, diving, mountain biking, CrossFit, and waterski racing, a sport in which his sons actively compete. The family also enjoys spending time at their bach in Opito Bay on the Coromandel Peninsula.
Naturally competitive, highly motivated, and both results and process-driven, Ben combines his extensive rural knowledge with the strength, reach, and resources of PGG Wrightson Real Estate's nationwide network.
