Bio
Tom W.
James is a wonderful person with a heart of gold. In the workplace his attention to detail is second to none and has grown himself from a pure analyst into a truly end to end supply chain manager that he had within Hallite. Covering the whole of Australia and many projects for the group, it was a sad loss when he decided to move back to NZ for family reasons. Wish you all the best...

I've had the privilege of working with James during an important phase in Samsung's business and operations development in NZ. James was a talented employee with exceptional supply chain management and logistics skills and his expertise in managing Samsung's internal supply chain management systems efficiently provided James significant respect within the business. He was loyal, hard working and a pleasure to work with.
