James Knutton Email and Phone Number
My professional career path took a sharp turn when I left British Gas as an engineer. I sold my life as I knew it and put everything on the line to become a commercial pilot. When March 2020 arrived, I couldn't believe how much it affected the aviation business as a whole while I was attempting to obtain my licence.Fortunately, I met the people at BOXT, who took a chance on me as a former gas engineer, knowing that my desire to be a pilot would not eclipse my commitment to working with them to deliver the greatest product available for the client when it comes to buying and operating gas boilers online.I learned the majority of the true foundations of the business by being hands-on from the beginning. I recall the first month being so overwhelming with figures thrown at me and customers I would think about on weekends. My knowledge would enable me to develop a niche in building relationships with clients and engineers, allowing me to be more creative in my work at BOXT after six months.Wizz Air eventually called to tell me that they wanted me to start their company-specific training and fly in the new year of 2022. That brings me to where I am now.
