James Cook
As one of the Directors of AWB, I lead our overall service and product offering; from designing our processes and products, to how we present them and critically how we ensure we give our customers the best service possible.
I am an architect by profession, having worked in international practice for 15 years, across various sectors including residential, office, laboratory and education. This has given me a keen eye for quality and detail, but also perspective in being able to absorb customer requirements and provide tailored responses.
I am keen on utilising cross industry design expertise to deliver a high quality product for our customers. I strive to ‘do more with less’ and ‘keep it simple’.
I am very much into Formula 1, guitars and an emerging mid-life crisis hobby of surfing.
