James joined Blakeney as an intern and was later shortlisted for PRCA’s Best Intern award.
He now works across a broad range of clients, helping to deliver communications and public affairs strategies that move the needle on some of society’s most pressing issues.
James’ route to the PR industry was unusual as he left school to become a plumbing and heating engineer. He completed an apprenticeship at an award-winning plumbing company and continued working as a plumber alongside his university studies, graduating from the University of Sussex with a First-Class Honours degree in Politics.
