James Hopkinson

Consultant

James joined Cognosis in September 2011. Since then he has undertaken a number of projects for leading FTSE 100 companies, including developing a size of prize driven brand strategy, a strategy engagement project for a B2B communications specialist, and most recently developing an opportunity scaling and city prioritisation strategy for a global FMCG company.

James holds a 1st class honours degree in Business Information Systems from Cardiff University and was previously awarded an Arkwright Engineering Scholarship.

Outside of work James enjoys keeping fit, cooking for friends and relaxing by the fire in rural Sussex. When not doing all of the above, James is most likely to be found skiing, swimming, playing golf or spending tremendous amounts of time building his notable and extraordinary sock collection.

Most likely to say: “Ash, if Cognosis was Downton Abbey you would definitely be my valet”

Least likely to say: “Patterned socks are the poor man’s way to personalise his workwear”
