Our Origins
Phicilitate Ltd. is an enterprise dedicated improving the quality of employee thinking and performance. Crucially, this involves improving employee and business ethical decision making.
Philosopher and Founder Ben Wilberforce-Ritchie believes that understanding who we are and how we act, before we consider what we can achieve, is essential for performing at our best both professionally and personally.
Through ethical consultancy, workshops, seminars and facilitation Ben applies the thought techniques developed over thousands of years to current business challenges.

Get to know our Founder Ben:
Mantra: Only by examining our thoughts with the striking curiosity of an explorer can we begin to realise, and act upon, our potential.
Passion: Writing - I am also an author, and adore getting lost in my narratives whilst sitting in cafes at the weekend.
Professional Background: As a qualified philosopher and business ethicist I've spent almost a decade changing mindsets at the FTSE100 Aerospace and Defence firm BAE Systems, where I was most recently Chief of Staff to the Group HR Director. Having held management roles in variety of functions, I developed an expertise in Ethics Management, through my leadership and delivery of large-scale business integrity programmes.
My expertise also extends to the diversity, equity and inclusion function, through my delivery and leadership of BAE Systems' LGBTQ+ Allyship Programme. Being a calm and understanding voice amidst global DE&I challenges is essential.
Favourite Place: Sitting on top of a Munro in the Scottish Highlands - nowhere else am I most at peace, nor able to gain as much perspective on life.
