We’re excited to announce that James Maughan has joined the Herd, as a Consultant Business Analyst.

James lives in Newcastle Upon Tyne with his girlfriend, and a mad but fun loving Westie named Fergus. He is an avid Newcastle United fan who loves rock music – with his favourite album being Bon Jovi – Slippery When Wet. He also enjoys many different types of beer, and anything sci-fi related, particularly Lord Of The Rings.

Professionally, James has experience in public sector digital delivery, having worked in Central Government on a number of large initiatives for DWP, most recently in their Identity & Trust space. He is experienced in the GDS delivery phases, and the role that BAs play in ensuring that teams meet the GDS Service Standards.

James has also developed his own Herd playlist for his first day journey down from Newcastle to Sheffield. You can check it out below.
