The commercial director of ecosurety, a resource efficiency company in Aztec West is in the running for the prestigious Institute of Directors (IoD) Young Director of the Year Award, presented to a director under the age of 42 able to point to outstanding achievements in the last 12 months.

In June he was named Young Director of the Year for the South West and will now compete against 12 other regions for the national crown, to be announced at the Lancaster London Hotel on October 21.
“I am bowled to have made it to the final of such a prestigious award,” said James. “To be among some of the leaders the biggest names in business in the UK is extremely humbling.
