About James Phillips

๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐’๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ฒ:From an early age, it was clear that I was a kinetic learnerโ€”understanding, adapting, and perfecting by "doing" rather than "listening" or "watching".So, when I started my own business at 21, after minimal management training and just a vision of how I believed things should work, it turns out "they" were right! It was a classic "sink or swim" moment, but it led to some great successes, a few business epiphanies, and plenty of valuable lessons.Fast forward a decade, and I had built a talented team of technical recruiters, a company known for its bespoke recruitment solutions for tech companies across Europe, and, of course, a huge sense of pride in what we had achieved. Most importantly for my own growth, Iโ€™d learned to utilise the "listening" and "watching" alongside all that "doing"!My hands-on approach has also presented itself via a passion for carpentry. What began as a casual hobby during my spare time, evolved into a unique opportunity for growth. After engaging with like-minded professionals, I was fortunate to receive an offer to train under a master carpenter, gaining invaluable insights from a seasoned expert.This experience has not only allowed me to satisfy my personal interest but has also enriched my professional profile. The precision, problem-solving, and attention to detail that carpentry demands closely align with the skills Iโ€™ve honed in managementโ€”such as project planning, resource allocation, and team collaboration. By broadening my expertise in both fields, Iโ€™ve strengthened my ability to lead projects and deliver high-quality results.๐๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐Ž๐›๐ฃ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž:Experienced leader with a proven track record in team leadership, business development, and project management, seeking to drive growth and success for an innovative organisation.
