In 2023, James achieved success by winning the 'On the Tools' Decorating Award. His journey to this accomplishment started after leaving school when he gained work experience as a plumber, an endeavour that proved less than satisfying, prompting him to explore other avenues. Opting for painting and decorating, James secured an apprenticeship with a reputable company, where he honed his skills and gained valuable experience. His commitment and passion eventually led him to establish his own prosperous painting and decorating company, showcasing his resilience and dedication to building a successful career in a field he found fulfilling.
