Rest and play

In his spare time, it’s likely that you’d find James exploring new places with his partner Jen and their miniature Dachshund Frankie.

James loves to travel, both within the UK and abroad. One of his main aspirations in life is to see as many places as he can, enjoy amazing food, and experience different cultures across the globe.

James would class himself as an active person outside of work. He enjoys any form of physical exercise, from running and triathlons to long walks in the countryside and going to the gym. Rugby League is a passion for James, and he’s a fan of Castleford Tigers.
