Benjamin is a Director of NLA and started as Director of The City Centre in September 2015 developing several new streams of activity including an Education programme, Exhibitions, Public Events and a brand new Private Hire offer. Shortly after the Lord Mayor opened The City Centre to the public, Benjamin took on the role as Director of the One City project, a new digital platform for promoting the best the City has to offer to City workers.

Prior to his role at the Garden Museum, Benjamin worked as a Gallery Manager for a private commercial gallery. He trained in Fine Art to MA level at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art and Design, has been a Features Editor for an online lifestyle magazine and sits on a number of committees for Cultural Development.
