Ben Reeves Receives Ground Support Worldwide´s Lifetime Achievement Award

Ben Reeves, Executive Vice President of Power Stow Americas, received the 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of a career spanning more than three decades in the ground support equipment industry, marked by integrity, mentorship, and industry impact. The honor reflects not only his professional accomplishments, but also the reputation he has built over the years in an industry he describes as close-knit, demanding, and deeply relationship driven.

Ben played a key role in introducing Power Stow’s Rollertrack Conveyor technology to the North American market, improving safety and ergonomics for ramp personnel. Throughout his career, he has emphasized honesty, transparency, and customer support as core principles, earning the trust and respect of colleagues, customers, and industry peers alike. He has mentored many industry professionals and is committed to ensuring a smooth leadership transition at Power Stow Americas. Ben’s legacy is defined by long-term relationships, mentorship, and a steadfast dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.

Receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award has given Ben an opportunity to reflect on the many relationships and experiences that have shaped his career. Speaking with Jenny Lescohie, Editor-In-Chief of Ground Support Worldwide, he said:

“You’ve just got to be totally honest with people and treat them fairly and with respect,” he said. “If you treat someone poorly in this industry, everybody knows about it before the sun goes down. I learned to be very upfront with people, and that’s helped me retain credibility with customers. I learned to under-promise and over-deliver.”

We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and thank Ben for his many years of commitment and contributions to Power Stow and the ground support industry!

Congratulations to Ben on this remarkable achievement!
