James joined Moorhouse from Accenture's global CRM practice.

Outside of work, James is kept busy by his very active one-year old daughter (who has recently found her toddling feet...), and tries to squeeze in runs along the Thames and the odd game of squash as time allows. James enjoys a decent game of poker and has deluded himself that one day he'll play at the World Series in Las Vegas.
Back when it was all so possible, James took the opportunity to travel, spending time teaching English in the Czech Republic, exploring central Sweden by dog sled, and enjoying a career break that took him to countries as far and wide as Borneo, Tahiti, India and Argentina, where he volunteered at an animal rehabilitation centre to look after puma, jaguar, monkeys and - mot dangerous of all - wild pigs.
