Enterprise Tuesday, Judge Business School, Cambridge University
Making Vision a Reality.
Discussing how James and James Fulfilment came about, the concept and technology behind it, and how it was scaled without capital.
"James Hyde and James Strachan, Founders of James and James Fulfilment, are revolutionising the fulfilment industry by leveraging technology to provide greater service. Spotting failings in the market generated ideas for greater automation and visibility which in turn created cost and risk reduction. Changes in the perception of value have highlighted service above software and, at the same time, revealed opportunities for scalability and an international outlook. Funded by the success of their own ideas and with no loans or debts, this successful company has broken boundaries in competitive advantage without reinventing the wheel and whilst maintaining a commitment to environmental responsibility. Both studied at the Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge.
