What we do
Specialists in the technologies that change how people learn and work
We pair deep, hands-on knowledge of emerging hardware and software with decades of training and commercial experience — so innovation actually lands with real teams.
Haptics
Touch is the frontier of realism. We advise on and build haptic-enabled training systems that let learners feel and practise skilled, physical procedures — safely and repeatedly.
Robotics
From automation strategy to human–robot collaboration, we help teams understand where robotics adds genuine value and how to introduce it without disrupting the people it serves.
Artificial Intelligence
Practical, responsible AI adoption — from upskilling leaders to identifying the workflows where AI creates measurable advantage, always with a human in the loop.
Training & Train-the-Trainer
Online, in-person and virtual academies. Management, retail and technology training designed to be delivered again and again by your own people.
Consultancy & Product Liaison
A trusted bridge between management, development, sales teams and customers — keeping ambitious technology projects grounded, commercial and on course.

The founder
James Markey MBE
Founder & Principal Consultant
James founded JP Mentors in November 2017 to bring world-class training and technology consultancy to organisations of every size. An award-winning technologist and entrepreneur, he has pioneered the use of virtual reality and haptics in professional training — including the world's first portable haptic and VR dental simulator, now used to train clinicians across dozens of universities.
Recognised with an MBE for his contribution to technology and training, James blends the discipline of classic mentorship with a restless curiosity for what comes next in VR, haptics, robotics and AI.
