James MacCaig has joined the Powerstax internal sales team. With Maths, Physics and Philosophy qualifications and the opportunity to go to University, James decided developing a career would be a better option.

Filling a new role as Personal and Marketing Assistant to the CEO, Kathy Marriage brings project management, software development and statistical analysis expertise to the Powerstax team.

Her career includes roles as support and consultancy for a statistical software house, an analyst programmer in the financial sector and running her own business developing bespoke statistical analysis solutions for large manufacturing, finance, media and education establishments. With continually improving flexibility of off the shelf software Kathy moved into project management of global software implementations for Telecoms and Petrochemical companies.
“I am really enjoying working for Powerstax.” Says Kathy. “Everyone is committed to the job in hand but can always find the time to assist their colleagues, whether it be pushing cars stuck in the snow or pulling together to prepare for exhibitions. There’s definitely a powerful team here at Powerstax!” When not at work Kathy enjoys spending quality time with her family and runs a local charity to support those affected by the loss of a baby.
