Our client say
James quickly mastered the particular nuances of our industry, collated the many ideas and inputs, and using the Lafley & Martin framework, assisted the board in distilling it all into a clear and executable strategy
-Glenn Lees, CEO and Founder, Connective
James was the Chairman at hockingstuart for the just-on five years that I was a non Executive Director.
He was able to balance the large number and often complex nature of stakeholders across the business. As a franchise group the franchisees are clearly a critical audience, but so are the shareholders, management and of course, the customer.
All in an industry that was being disrupted by various external entities, a difficult trading environment and a changing legislative agenda.
Frankly, James was a class act, navigating his way and guiding the Board and company through complex times and eventually, a merger with an interstate partner.
I suspect James packed about ten years worth of experience into his tenure at hockingstuart and his leadership and ability to remain calm and measured at all times was impressive. I'd jump at the chance to work with James again
-Penny Burke, Non Executive Director
