Installer.

Ben Payne’s made the leap from music to megabits as Primo’s newest installer, bringing broadband to rural users around Taranaki.

After a long stint in all areas of the music biz from retail, playing and band management, including many years with Kora, he’s now loving the epic views on the road and meeting great people on the job. It also gives him a chance to use his experience from Broadspectrum as a fibre installer to help with the rollout of Primo Fibre.

Ben lives in Ōkato with partner Christine and their young son Oliver. He’s big on customer care, loves to surf, and reckons being a “needy dad” is his best gig yet.
