"James is fantastic to work with! He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and understands what schools need as he is still a teacher, therefore he gets the reality of tech in classrooms. His staff training was engaging and he has a great sense of humour! He is passionate about technology and his enthusiasm is infectious. I would thoroughly recommend him."
