About Me
BIO
James Harrison;
A relationship and people focused leader that works to get the best out of everyone and inspire those same people to grow, be brave & fulfill their potential.
I hold myself to the same standards of hard work, pushing the boundaries of creativity whilst taking pride in how I conduct myself and constantly striving to be 1% better every day.
A passion for health, fitness & sport has guided much of my career choices and I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the leading brands in the space.
My creative style would be best described as honest, inspiring and with purpose.
