Great bloke and a massive influence on Stone
The sector has lost another channel stalwart and a great character too. I first met James back in 1992. He was Stone. He lived and breathed the business, knew it inside out, was a great salesman and more importantly, knew both his business and his customers as no-one else did. Met him on many, many occasions since then and always enjoyed the experience. Worked with him over some trickier times but never doubted his ability, desire and above all his integrity. These are big boots to fill and I hope he enjoys 'ticking off more things on his bucket list'.
