James Tiller
James joined YOUhome following a successful period with one of the UK’s top retailers, where he learned many important skills including providing great customer service and also managing effective administrative duties effectively. James has lived in Bournemouth all his life apart from the three years he spent living in Stoke-on-Trent when he was at university, so he has a great deep knowledge of the area and all it has to offer. Certainly, living away has made him appreciate how lucky he is to come from back to such a fantastic place. James’s voice can be heard on the radio where he is contributor for a local show. He has also had a range of published articles published in newspapers, magazines and websites. He enjoys watching sport and following his beloved football team AFC Bournemouth, where he is a season ticket holder.
