Asked what he likes about his role within Kemppi, James said: ”Every day is different, one day I can be in meetings with Kemppi’s Dealers or Managers and the next day, I can be in a workshop with overalls on carrying out equipment demonstrations for employees on the shop floor. It is definitely a great job to go out and meet new people.
