James founded Halyard in 1979, starting a new business as UK distributor for the GKN Aquadrive.  He used this to create a range of products reducing noise and vibration from marine engines.  In 1989 James turned his attention to manufacturing, growing Halyard to become the largest specialist marine engine exhaust system in Europe today - and the only manufacturer worldwide to manufacture all parts of a marine exhaust system in-house.  James' first love remains dealing with boat owners and operators and he has recruited a number of outside professionals to ensure that the operational aspects of Halyard reflect current best practice.   James has held a number of positions in the wider marine industry, including roles as Chairman of National Boat Shows Ltd and as President of the British Marine Federation.  He is currently involved in groups formed to increase the UK superyacht industry and to promote the exports of UK marine equipment.
