I had the pleasure of being part of James’ L&D team. As a Manger he is inspiring, driven, supportive, caring and a lot of fun. You would struggle to find a more passionate, dedicated, talented L&D professional. His creativity and ability to make any learning intervention engaging and memorable is second to none. I can’t recommend him enough, if you are in need of any kind of Learning intervention James is your man, you will not be disappointed.

I have worked for James for over a decade, his passion for training and development is inspiring.

James was the one who brought me into the fabulous world that is L&D, I respected him and his methods so much that I followed him from LV= to Sky Betting and Gaming as I knew he would continue to push and challenge me to develop my skills.

Those who work with James and who have been trained by him will know, he brings the glitter to training.

James knows his stuff, how to manage people, interact with stakeholders and more importantly, how to get the best out of his team and trainees.

Having worked closely with Jim for approx. 18 months, I can thoroughly recommend him to any organisation/stakeholder lucky enough to engage with him.

Jim is enthusiastic, solution focused and engaging, taking all levels of colleague (up to and including Exec Directors) along with the journey.

Jim is able to balance strategic work with operational delivery. He quickly gets to grip with the situation, goes into solution mode and delivers in a timely manner, managing multiple stakeholder requirements at the same time.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting then being part of the Studio family along with James. James has an infectious personality which oozes positivity.

Always smiling and just easy to be around. His desire for learning and education was clear. James was supportive and approachable to all.

He is a fantastic leader and will be an absolute asset to any business or organisation.

James is a dynamic, creative and dedicated professional. He is passionate about the learning and development of others and leads by example. He is continuously keeping abreast of new techniques and harnessing the everchanging challenges in the marketplace. Having worked on a number of joint initiatives, I can personally recommend James. His execution of training sessions is also superb and engaging.

I had the privilege of working with James, and I can’t recommend him enough. He’s a true professional who brings creativity and a strong work ethic to everything he does. James knows how to make the workplace not only productive, but also enjoyable. His ability to balance professionalism with a fun and engaging approach is truly commendable. If you’re looking for a leader who brings a unique blend of creativity, hard work, and a positive attitude, James is the one to collaborate with.

Customer Service Trainer - Studio Retail Ltd

I worked with Jim for just over 18 months whilst we were both members of the HR SLT at Studio. Jim brought a vast amount of experience into the team and was able to operate at a strategic level whilst also working at an operational level to support in getting projects over the line.

He was a great motivator for his own team and also his peers and I’m sorry that we didn’t get chance to work more closely together for longer; but I’m hoping that we’ll get further opportunities in the future.

Jim would be an asset (with fabulous footwear) to any business who needs some L&D Support.

James is an expert in his field and all things Learning and Development. He has amazing vision and can positively contribute to a business’s L&D strategy. Having a realistic and savvy approach to any project, no task is too much. But… the best thing is that James injects fun into everything that he does, captivating and capturing all audiences perfectly. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.
