Mum Suzanne Louis-Lane won mixed team Commonwealth gold in 1994 while brother Alex is a two-time men’s singles national champion. 

Ben has built a badminton history of his own having won mixed team bronze at the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and representing Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics with Sean Vendy.
