James Fowler

Director

James moved to sunny Manchester from the Midlands for University graduating with a first-class honours. After working in training and education James ‘fell’ into recruitment when an agency he registered with decided they liked him.

James has worked in recruitment since 2011 starting up a healthcare desk for a high street agency before moving into commercial recruitment, progressing quickly to a senior consultant and winning consultant of the year at his previous agency in 2014.

One of the J2 founders James has built up a brilliant reputation within the commercial recruitment arena due to the standards of service, quality of candidates and the speed at which he operates. James believes strongly in a consultative and trustworthy approach and has an extraordinary eye for spotting talented people that can add value to his long-term client’s operations.

Outside of work, James is, a keen runner having done several 10km runs and a marathon. He is a keen gym goer and plays badminton (badly). He is also a fan of the red side of Manchester!
