Ben Waite — CEO

About: Proud to be part of TEN10 as Director of Operations. My philosophy is simple: great people with great systems creates operational excellence. At TEN10, we focus on looking after a small number of key clients exceptionally well — where safety, quality, and responsiveness are non-negotiable. Background: I left school to work in the family painting and industrial coatings business, learning everything from the ground up. Leading crews on jobs exceeding 5,000 hours gave me a clear understanding of what great teams need to succeed — from both sides of the fence. I also bring significant experience in the waterproofing and industrial flooring sector, which deepened my technical coatings knowledge considerably. I am also a qualified coatings inspector. Building National Group: Growing National Group was a real challenge — one I learnt from through hard experience. By driving a strong focus on core values and cultural change over several years, we built a consistent, high-performing company. I led the H&S division for over 10 years, achieving a 96% rating on the AppCon contractor database, successfully passing the Acc secondary assessment audit, and holding ISO accreditation for H&S, Quality, and Environment since 2020. How I work: I take a systems-based approach to delivering projects — because when the right processes are in place, great results happen consistently, not just once. I enjoy getting to know clients' needs and timeframes, and I regularly identify operational savings that lead to thousands of dollars in annual cost reductions through simple process improvements. Most of all, I love working alongside our team — inspiring people to excel, enjoy what they do, and take pride in the clients we serve every day.
