   The other guy (James) 

James is 21 and 11 months old and has a rediculously long c.v. to accompany an odd sense of humour and no ability to spell.

Having started work at 18 with KPMG as a trainee chartered accountant in Leicester at the beginning of his GAP year, after six months of employment James was offered the opportunity of remaining employed at KPMG and the opportunity to change to a department of his choosing. On moving to London his roles included Advisor for Information Risk Management in Infrastructure & Government and Advisor on the Freedom Of Information Act.

On starting University in London at Imperial College of Science and Technology he remained with KPMG in a University Brand Manager capacity. Whilst at Imperial, began a career in Promotion and Events Management in varied locations and companies. Organising a variety of events, ranging from large bouncy castle, filled, Elvis minister attended student fests to celebrity attended, magician entertained, boutique clubs. Having responsibility for all aspects of management from contract negotiations to hosting and promoting in both unique and established manners (from balloons through doors to articles in newspapers detailing celebrities’ whereabouts). Between October 2003 and March 2006 personally placing over 15,000 customers in clubs and events nationwide. Having decided to change degree focus, James moved to Leeds University to study Computing as a Science degree (rather than an Engineering degree).
