James is the Business Development Manager for Morgan Sindall Construction’s Cambridge Business, having worked in the city and surrounding areas for the last 6 years. He works across sectors from Health care and Life Science to Education and Leisure projects with values from £5m up to £100m+. With a background in Economics, he has a keen eye on policy and a professional interest in making sure developments are sustainable.
Outside of his professional responsibilities James is a key figure in the Cambridge Oxford Corridor Constructing Excellence Club and leads the early careers section. He is a competitive sailor with a few international trophies to his name and has hosted a craft beer podcast when otherwise not to busy.
Having initially been a part of the YAC for three years including contributing to the City of Quarters report, he knows the positive impact that the committee can have and the importance of making sure its voice is heard.
James said “I hugely valued my time on the YAC, both as an opportunity to grow personally and to make sure that my cohort who will be working in the City in 20/30/40 years have their chance to shape it. When Jacqui asked me to keep the Chair warm for her, I couldn’t say no”.
