Benjamin Mark Bland, known professionally as Ben Boulos, is an English presenter and journalist for the BBC News, specialising in business for UK and global audiences on programmes including Business Live, Talking Business and World Business Report, as well as being one of the main relief presenters for BBC World News, BBC News Channel and BBC World Service which operates globally to an estimated weekly audience of over 75 million viewers.[1] Since the beginning of April 2020, Boulos has presented Around the World By BBC News weekdays on Quibi.[2]
He is a competitive cyclist in his spare time, and has represented Surrey at amateur level.[5]
In February 2021, Boulos announced he will be using the name Ben Boulos, his mother's surname, in his professional work due to another journalist having the same name causing confusion,[6] and also because he wanted a surname that conveys "a more complete picture of who I am and the influences on my life".[7]
In November 2023, Boulos mistook guest Teresa Wickham's shaking head as a reaction to his statement, before she later clarified it was just her dystonia disorder. Boulos apologised for his mistake.[8]
