James is the man

In times of darkness you need a little light and James was just that. That sounds cheesy but he really was brilliant I didn’t feel like I was talking about debt it was like a general chat and I’ve been putting this off for ages. Crazy really because the outcome was better than what I expected. He’s a great asset to your team and I hope you get the right James because I know there’s a few James that work there!
