James competed with 53 top executives and picked up the prestigious award in the Support Services category, having progressed to the finals as a Scottish Regional Winner.

Commenting on the win, James said; “I’m delighted to have won this award, which I accept on behalf of all my colleagues in Senergy. I genuinely believe that team work, ethics, sustainability and community are critical to both personal and professional success, and that business isn’t only about the pursuit of profits.

“Our success is down to working as a team and applying our collective skills and talents to make a difference to the global community while being profitable at the same time.”

This belief is integral to Senergy and has resulted in the company achieving a turnover of £75 million in four years, with ambitions to double turnover in the next three years, through internationalisation, acquisition and diversification.
