Benjamin Patston

Ben Patston hails from the quaint city of Norwich in the UK. His passion for sports led him to make a life-changing move to New Zealand 14 years ago, where he embraced the vibrant rugby culture by joining North Otago. This transition not only fulfilled his sporting ambitions but also marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

Family Life

Now residing in Dunedin, Ben enjoys a fulfilling family life with his beautiful wife, Lisa, and their three teenage children: Mischa, Leo, and Freddy. Together, they create a warm and loving home, embracing the outdoor lifestyle that New Zealand has to offer.

Passion for Golf

While rugby has been a significant part of Ben’s life, golf holds a special place in his heart. He proudly represents Otago in the sport and relishes the summer months spent on the golf course with friends, always aiming to make a few birdies. His dedication to golf showcases his competitive spirit and love for the game.

Advocacy for Aloe Up

In addition to his athletic pursuits, Ben is passionate about promoting Aloe Up products.

"Aloe Up sunscreen and lip balms are essential for protection against the strong New Zealand sun. In particular, the Aloe Up Sport lip balm has been a lifesaver for me in Dunedin’s windy climate, helping to prevent sore lips." - Benjamin Patston.
