James Pack

Company Director

I started working as a stonemason when I left school in 1985. After completing my apprenticeship with Ernest Ireland Construction and the City of Bath College, leaving with an Advanced Craft Certificate in Masonry. Initially I worked with lots of local firms gaining experience and then when the economic climate changed, I worked across the North of England and the South East which enabled me to work with different materials and learn different practices. During my career I have worked on many prestigious projects including Londons prestigeous Tower Bridge and The Queens Windsor Castle! Where I was involved in making the cases for the crown jewels. Alongside this a huge variety of other big projects in London. However my love of my home town was always going to bring me back. When the climate allowed I came back to Bath and have been involved in many projects that are familiar in the local area: numerous projects on the Royal Crescent, a series of new builds on Bartlett Street in Bath. I was also part of the team that restored St. Catherine’s Court on the outskirts of Bath. Alongside this I have also been involved in many extension projects across the South West UK. After many years working in banker shops and fixing gangs the time came for me to be running a business. Pack Masonry was born.
