Bio
Dr Nicholas Jones
Working with James at the University of Manchester was an excellent experience and I would have no hesitation in recommending James to any organisation. I can say this from first hand experience of James as my line manager in both the TASS and University scholarship programmes. Without doubt James created a lasting legacy at the University with his successful bid for the England Hockey National Performance Centre being the highlight. What's more James still plays an active part of the success of TASS programme as a Lifestyle Supporter Advisor and facilitating training locations across the region for disability athletes. Thanks for all your efforts James !
