Meet James Bennie...
James is currently the Business Growth Manager at WellingtonNZ, helping local businesses grow and Wellington prosper.
Being an entrepreneur at heart with a passion for helping businesses, you’ll also find James’ insightful content on the Raw Mentor social media channels.
Before WellingtonNZ, James helped create and sell two businesses.
James took over the family business, a training company for New Zealand’s Hospitality industry. Today this business is known as HospoTrain. In 2017 James was recognised for his hard work by being presented a Felix Award for Outstanding Hospitality Professionals.
James’ second business is a lifestyle clothing brand for those who love fishing. James and his co-founder, Felix Wenzel, felt that they needed a brand of clothing to wear that showed their passion for surfcast fishing. Billabong just wasn’t cutting it for them and Slacktide was born.
