The Jim Guthrie Story

Many Sage 300 users or resellers dream that their hard work will be rewarded when they eventually move on to the next phase of their lives.

Jim Guthrie, a well known Accpac trainer in his previous career, is now living his dream as a traveller and professional landscape photographer.

As well as profiling Jim, our latest news article tells of his connection to Orchid, and how he inspired the novel Business Partner Awards we'll soon be presenting at TPAC, Niagara Falls.
