As a committed individual to those he has previously worked for, and after years of dedication to those companies, it was time to devote his efforts to his own project rather than others.

Experience
Experience
James has worked and managed some of the largest projects in archaeological geophysics. These range from high level infrastructure projects such as HS2, EWR, A9 and A96 upgrades, as well as several large linear electrical connector routes for offshore windfarms such as Hornsea 4 and Dogger Bank A-D projects. He has also worked on several Carbon Capture schemes, including both Drax and Viking. In more recent years the boom in solar farms, and windfarms, have also become a key part of his work portfolio. Many of these projects have been 1000+ hectares in size which require meticulous planning, to be control and recorded diligently, with detailed final reporting.

James has his own research interests too, surveying the parish for which he grew up in North Yorkshire in his spare time. He has also undertaken surveys for several community groups. In more recent months he has helped the Thornborough Archaeology Group and is now a board member of the International Society for Archaeological Prospection.
