Commercial strategy, pricing & digital development
James combines experience in running operations and winning work with hands-on development of data tools, software and automated workflows.
Experience
behind the work.
James’s career spans facilities management, project management and six years in commercial relocations. As commercial manager of a specialist laboratory removals operation, he helped develop the business with its own depot, team and fleet.
He subsequently became work-winning director across the wider business, with responsibility for pricing, commercial strategy and estimating. That experience shapes his approach to deciding which opportunities to pursue, how to price them and what successful delivery will require.
Alongside his commercial work, James designs and builds systems. His work includes CRM integrations, pricing tools, automated workflows and a tender knowledge system, all developed for practical use within an operating business.
