Bio
Suzanne Stuart
James and I worked together while at Bisley. Although we were in different sales teams, our work regularly crossed over. In the showroom James was always conscientious about his work, showing a continual desire to learn and improve. Outside of the showroom, James was very supportive, joining me on a number of client site presentations and product training sessions. He was always very confident, knowledgeable, and quick to build a rapport with everyone. I would have no hesitation in recommending James for future roles – he would be a great asset to any organisation.

I worked with James for over 4 years at Bisley and he was one of the most dedicated and hardworking people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He is well organised, always on time and has a fantastic eye for detail. He would always go the extra mile with helping people and is someone that everyone valued the opinion of. He throws his heart and soul into every project and the quality of his work is always second to none.
