Jack Henniker

James currently works as a civil servant, heading up the contract management function within HMNB Devonport. He has a strong project and programme management background and has recently helped lead the procurement of a new Naval Base Services contract for HMNB Devonport. This experience has equipped James with a strong background in commercial contracts and transformation/change management skills which he hopes will benefit him in his role as Trustee. James is also a workplace representative for GMB Union and regularly provides advice and guidance for members on a range of areas such as pay, remuneration, and employment law. Prior to taking his role as contract manager in Devonport, James worked as a Senior Project Manager for a number of other Government organisations in Bristol, mainly focussed on defence procurement and early careers development schemes where he has mentored and coached many new graduates and apprentices.

James was born and raised in Plymouth, where he attended school at Devonport High School for Boys before completing his BSc (Hons) Business Management degree with the University of Plymouth. James has always been appreciative of the brilliant care that St Luke’s provide throughout the community, so is both honoured and excited to start his new role as Trustee.
