As a part time STEPS facilitator I have worked with James on a number of occasions. Each time I have been impressed with his style of delivery and his ability to tailor the content of the courses to each attendee whilst maintaining the focus for the group as a whole. He has brought the subject to life and I would look to use James to delivery such courses for me in the future.

I always found James to be a resilient and tenacious individual always striving to improve process and make efficiency gains wherever possible. A positive and astute contributor to the team who has the acumen to act autonomously utilising his own knowledge and experience.
