Name	James Blackhall
Job Title	Managing Director / C.E.O
Company Responsibilities	I am responsible for the strategic and corporate governance of the company. Additionally, I have Board of Director responsibility for sales, administration, finance and personnel. I joined the company in 1986 after graduating in Mechanical Engineering, and a brief spell working in the design office of a German Valve Manufacturer.
Hobbies/Interests	Married to Rosie with 5 children, time with the family is important but in short supply. I occasionally play golf, squash, cycle and swim but spend most of my spare time as a taxi service between rugby, football, dance and other extra-curricular activities.
