Who I work with
If you are serious about changing something in your business, your non-profit, charity, or yourself, then I can help you. I’ll bring humour and humanity to the serious business of helping you to reach the goals you are striving for.
I’m not a coach, but I will give you straight-forward ways to move forward, based on many years of practice. My aim is to give people the methods and tools that will clarify what to do, how to do it and where to apply their effort.
I can work as hands-on, or off, as you want me to. No client is the same, but your needs will be familiar. ‘Bespoke’ isn’t a special thing for me, it’s just what I do, and usually what people need. And no, it doesn’t add a zero to the bill!

James has been phenomenal.
He brings logic and clarity and has helped us get to somewhere we didn’t even know we needed to get to!! He is extremely calm, and observes professionally whilst building a plan to present to you in a way you understand. He is also willing to be flexible and change direction if our needs changed, whilst still bringing his expertise to keep us realistic and our aims achievable. He knows what works and what doesn’t and has a great vision and has mentored me personally to help me work out where I want the organisation to go. It’s constant learning and it’s reassurring to have someone like James by our side.

It was awesome! I don’t think I would have managed without James. There is so much to learn, it can be overwhelming, but James has always been here to help me with all the challenges I faced. We found a very efficient workflow and I am really happy about the results.”

Flexible, creative, you integrate with our team – you just get it!
James has produced videos for Fruitful Insights for me. We have worked together on and off for many years.
In a past life he also produced campaigns for Europcar and American Express for me at Grey.
I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Professional, creative, knowledgeable, great mentor for the team and a damn nice guy!

I love it!
James and I have worked together for many years on multiple projects. Most recent was a photo shoot he did for Viewture at the Sidemen charity football match at the London Stadium. This featured 100+ influencers having their portraits taken next to the FA Cup.
He previously produced videos in UK and USA for me at Power-One/ABB, and then a film about the production of olive oil in Tuscany. The end result was a beautiful piece of art reflective of the place where it was created.

I was lucky to work with James on a Tourism Film while Tourism Manager for Adur & Worthing Councils. He was a pleasure to work with, always meeting deadlines and using his creative skills to produce an excellent film. I would recommend him and would happily employ him again on future projects.
