An incredible honour to receive my MBE from Prince William at Windsor Castle, surrounded by my family.
Standing there, I thought about 11-year-old me starting his first business, never imagining this moment.
I’m hugely grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way - family, friends, mentors, colleagues, and the many people who believed in me before the outcomes were visible.
🚨🎖️ Benjamin Towers MBE 🎖️🚨
I’m incredibly honoured to share that I’ve been awarded an MBE for services to the Startup Business Community, Excellence in Innovation and Enterprise.
More recently, I founded Happl, an AI-powered employee benefits platform for enterprises backed by Y Combinator, with teams across the UK and US, using AI to create benefits uniquely crafted around every employee.

With the Flood and PFR industry on its knees after disgraceful actions and a betrayal by the @EnvAgency, it is MORE important than ever for me to champion small businesses and entrepreneurs, and help highlight the trials and tribulations along the way. – at City of London, London
Thankfully we do not bank with SVB but so many innovative startups do. Even if you don’t use them we need to unite together and put pressure on the US and UK governments to step in. An unthinkable amount of startups will be unable to operate and no money means no payroll & more.
10 years ago today my first business cards and branded pens arrived! I would have been 14 years old. A decade later and I exited that company, worked for GSK, advised the Government and started @joinHappl
