In October 2012, James hosted a brand new TV show on CNBC, The Business Class.  Tapping into his long standing passion for SMEs, the exciting seven part series saw James joined by experts from a range of business sectors. Together they looked at the key challenges and opportunities faced by UK businesses. Each firm was at a different stage in their life cycle, from start-ups through to those preparing for exit. James was able to use his first hand experience to offer guests valuable insight and advice.

I was absolutely delighted to be part of this fresh new business show, which looked closely at the issues faced by SMEs. I have always said that SMEs are the lifeblood of our economy and key to growth in the UK.  To be able to help entrepreneurs by offering them meaningful and tangible advice was something I thoroughly enjoyed.
