  • Interests

    When he's not working, Adam likes to make sure he remains as active as possible, participating in as many sports as he can fit into his spare time, including training for and completing the Berlin Marathon. Aside from running, he is a very keen footballer, playing 11-a-side in the winter and 5-a-side throughout the summer months. He occasionally manages the odd round of golf and tennis match and in his younger years, cricket was the sport of choice.  He has a passion for poker and believes that given enough time and practice he'll be the proud owner of a World Series of Poker bracelet before too long.

    Other than sport Adam is a keen reader, mainly non-fiction – biographies and the like and he likes to keep up to date with global economic developments. He is also keen to restart his efforts in voluntary work in the local community (no doubt in some sports-related capacity).
