James joined Manolete in January 2020 as a Consultant working alongside Roger Dugan in the Midlands region. Immediately upon qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1987 with Coopers & Lybrand, he moved into their restructuring practice, Cork Gully, working in Birmingham, East Anglia, Nottingham and the Potteries. He was successively head-hunted by Begbies Traynor, Moore Stephens and Crowe before relinquishing his Insolvency Licence in 2018 to concentrate on turnaround and non-exec roles. He is a Fellow of both the ICAEW and R3, remains close to the Restructuring community and is keen for Manolete to expand their help to practitioners in pursuing actions for creditors' benefit.
