Impact. I feel like the work I do really matters and has a positive impact across the team, the product and our customers.
Quick learner – I like to think that I can learn things quite quickly! In my career I’ve dabbled in all sorts! From IT, to automotive, web design and (of course) Customs!
Everything and anything Star Wars!
That’s a tricky one! I would have to say the painter Bob Ross. A very calm, humble man who genuinely cared about the planet and the people on it. I have very fond memories of watching his show as a kid with my grandparents.
A survival kit, a wide berth tent and a large supply of teabags.
Reading, films/TV, video games and travelling!
Princess Diana visited my hospital ward the week I was born!
Anywhere full of greenery or by the sea!
I have a Labradoodle called Rory who is the biggest, softest dog you’ll ever have the chance to meet.
The most surprising thing I have done recently is go on a sprs.me trip, alone, twice! I had no idea which country I would end up in (other than it being in Europe). I would recommend it to everyone at least once. Not being able to plan forces you to enjoy the moment, plus you might end up somewhere you never would have visited otherwise!
My friends refer to me by my surname, but this is mainly because there are a few of us called Adam!
I have a front false tooth following an accident when I was younger. Hopefully you can’t tell!
