From My Customers
"I worked with James for several years on a major global project for Henkel that needed extensive solids handling expertise. He managed the team that developed an idea, through R&D, into production and into our own Henkel customer sites who were using our new adhesive technologies.
He was instrumental in developing a wider global relationship that led to a global partnership and something we were all very proud of. I would talk to him about handling solutions just as much as we discussed financial justifications together, which says a lot about his breadth of industrial knowledge and the commercial aspects that go with it."
David Duckworth – Henkel
"James’ industrial process knowledge and commercial acumen is exemplary. He has helped me solve several problems that has made a huge impact. He has saved our business a great deal of money, time and production."
