After years in the marine industry, James founded Nautic Africa which focuses on the manufacture of high quality aluminium vessels and other speciality custom commercial and Naval vessels. From its roots in Simon's Town Naval Dockyard, Nautic Africa now has a main production facility in the Cape Town Harbour, and caters for clients globally. Come and learn from a man who has regrets about the way he listed his first company on the Stock Exchange. Hear his story all about skateboarding, fast cars and Navy Aluminium Ships.
