James joined Castria in 2017. He graduated with a Masters in History at Oxford Brookes University where he developed a strong ability to analyse and present information in an effective, timely and accessible manner. James employs this level of understanding, assisting in the admin duties for the practice.

James is also involved in the charity Childreach and was fortunate enough to travel with them to Tanzania and climb Mount Kilimanjaro. During his expedition he had the opportunity to visit schools and spend time with the children to see the benefits of the charity how the money raised was distributed.
