Dreaming Of Growing Your Own Business? How To Get Started And Access Support And Funding For Your Big Idea

James started Copper Candle in 2004 to build the future of LED theatre lighting. 20 years later, Copper Candle is still attempting to disrupt the entertainment technology sector, and he has learned some interesting lessons along the way that everyone else can learn from too.
