Testimonials

Adam is an entrepreneurial dynamo! His approach is always ‘can do’, which works in harmony with his energetic approach. I have witnessed how contagious his enthusiasm is, as he has a positive outlook towards whatever he encounters. He also has an ability to quickly engage with people and has a genuine interest in helping them see new opportunities. If you get the chance to attend an event Adam is involved with, or one of his presentations, I would highly recommend seizing it.
Tom Baker, Technical Trainer

I worked with Adam at Bolton Sixth Form college on an annual project entitled ‘Skills Day’. Working with Adam was a pleasure from start to finish and his input on the day was invaluable. The feedback we had from students and staff alike was very positive and I’m sure the College would be happy to work with him again in the future.
Paul Fenner, Bolton Sixth Form College

What an extraordinary guy. Warm, knowledgeable and above all, motivational. Having spent time with Adam talking about his commitment to young people and the community at large, I can only wish him the best and recommend him highly.
