Specialist in:

Meeting new and existing clients, getting to know and understand their businesses and their needs and finding solutions to their problems.

Getting to know James:

I was born and brought up in a small village in Somerset, where I lived until I moved to the Northwest for University. It was at Lancaster that I met my future wife, and after a brief time living and working in London, we moved to Lincolnshire and bought our home. We have one son, and love travelling (both in the UK and abroad), going to the theatre, live music gigs, going to the cinema, good food and drink, and spending time with friends and family. We also love animals, and have one dog, a cat and two guinea pigs. I have a strong interest in history, politics and current affairs.

Work History:

After completing my BA degree in history and politics, I studied for an MSc in Management, which included lots of different areas such as accounting, marketing and economics, and I really enjoyed marketing, so worked in a couple of broad marketing related roles in the City of London and in a school in the Southwest before deciding that I wanted to specialise in online marketing, as it became clear that this was going to be a vital and growing element of marketing in the future. I applied for a role at DBS in 2011 when I moved to Lincolnshire and have never looked back.

What’s your favourite thing about working at DBS:

There are so many great things about working at DBS – the fact that we’re a small, friendly team with many of us having worked her a long time so we have a strong working relationship and know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and how to get the best results together. We all look after and support each other whilst wanting to get the best possible results for our clients. I love that everyone has a shared strong ethical and moral compass and will always go the extra mile to get the best results for our clients. Personally, I love the opportunity for problem-solving and the satisfaction that brings when you know we’ve helped our clients overcome their issues and achieve their goals.
