One of those jobs was a HGV driver for Redwood Int’l Ltd, as he had met Mr. Danny Gabay (Managing Director of Redwood) on previous visits to Gibraltar through a common friend who had been a neighbour of James for 20 years in Molesey.

Shortly after starting part time with Redwood in 1996 a vacancy came up and James was offered a full time position as a driver. After a couple of years in 1998 James took an administrative post to deal with the groupage service to and from the UK.
