Ben pon father started with selling the beetle after the war One of the very richest families in Holland estimated 5 billion ..just him and his brother ..I work for a good few years winter time on a shoot which he owned cricket St Thomas it’s finished couple years ago ..it was a million pound shoot for his mates and friends only no sold days ..3 keepers & just under 30,000 birds down Ben was X racing driver good shot with the gun shot for Holland in the olympics his best mate Gijs van lennep himself an ex racing driver he still is a test driver for Audi ? I’ve met dozens of times on the shoots really nice guy ..google the family ..it’s worth a read his dad came up with the van/ caravanete he sponsors a huge meet in Holland every year ..Ben also has one of the best wineries in Carmel valley California bernadus ..I know he’s involved with Porsche as he had new one every year both here and California ...the cars he arrived on shoots with from classics to one of the first mclarens off production line ..but a true gent very humble and generous his armed body guard went everywhere with him even loading on double gun ..it’s always been a hobby for me working on a couple of shoots from Oct to end of jan plenty of fresh air ..my mates are ex keepers ..
A funny story at the end of each shoot he would take everyone up the pub but it wasn’t always open as long as he would have liked so he bought it so he could go in any time ?..
