I worked with James while with Rodericks Ltd. James helped streamline and maintain all the IT requirements for our Head Office and Dental Practices. James always showed great initiative and forward thinking in the face of tight budgets. I was always pleased when James was on the end of a phone when an IT issue threatened a project or a much needed result as he would work quickly to find a resolution. Customer Service - 2nd to None in his organisation.

James's IT knowledge is extensive and taught me so much about IT, html coding and was always patient especially I was learning so much from scratch. A great guy to work with.
