James Akrigg, Head of Technology for Partners at Microsoft, will share his expertise with delegates at the Builders Merchants Federations (BMF) Members’ Day in September.

James has worked in and around the IT industry for over 30 years, the last 16 at Microsoft in the UK. His passion for technology and what it can do to deliver real value and benefit to businesses of all sizes is clear to see when he presents and meets with Microsoft partners and customers. He is able to simplify how to use a mix of technologies to deliver solutions in today's challenging business environments.

BMF Managing Director John Newcomb said: "James is an evangalist for new technologies and his ability to talk about this in a language that anyone can understand will make this an unmissable session at this year's BMF Members' Day.
