About James

James leads the development of Voyager's Business Resources Student Convention, creating engaging, curriculum-focused experiences that connect classroom theory with real-world examples.

A lifelong Disney enthusiast, James has spent the last five years taking GCSE groups to the resort with Voyager School Travel. He has designed a range of high-quality student resources that enrich learners' experiences at Disneyland Paris while supporting key areas of the Business Studies curriculum. Activities and tasks are centred around core business concepts, exploring the operational, marketing and strategic frameworks of a global giant like Disney, which align directly with widely taught GCSE, BTEC and A Level specifications.

James will also be at the convention, connecting every presentation back to the exam boards and sharing his expert insights into how business theories can be seen in practice throughout Disneyland Paris.
