Although we don't usually make announcements when members of staff leave Vectric, there are a few people who have been such an integral part of the company that I feel we must give every member of the Vectric family a chance to say goodbye. As anyone who attended either of our user group meetings this year will be aware, my great friend James Booth has decided to in his own words ...
I have had the immense pleasure of working with James for well over 20 years and when Tony McKenzie and I founded Vectric back in 2005 we collaborated very closely with James and his company VectorArt 3D right from the start. James played a huge role in creating and developing Aspire, both by suggesting features and also providing almost all the training materials for Aspire (and later all the other products) which have been such an essential part of their success. When Tony retired from Vectric back in 2011, James moved back to the U.K when we purchased VectorArt 3D. It has been a great 5 years and Vectric has gone from strength to strength with James being a very important part of the team here. James obviously leaves some very big shoes to fill, but he has developed an excellent team who share his exceptional values and are ready to take on his responsibilities.'' take some time out and think about what I might do next after 20+ years in the same industry. I have no idea what might be in my future but I am looking forward to the process of deciding what it is"
I personally, along with everyone else at Vectric wish him all the best for the future and we look forward to seeing what he does next - we have no doubt that it will be interesting! We are also sure he won't be able to stay away from the equipment in the Vectric labs for too long either...
