About Me

I have many years of experience, gained working across the corporate, public, and voluntary and community sectors working on a range of programmes, commissioning services, devising grant giving policies, giving grants and building relationship with funders, buyers and training professionals.

My approach is determined, objective, creative and fund as I help clients achieve their goals and I am comfortable relating with people from a variety of backgrounds including service users from across the social and age spectrums, board members, MPs and Peers.

�€�Adie has been working as a lecturer in our Master in Hotel & Hospitality Management since 2007. He always captures the interest of students with his outgoing personality and vast industry experience and is very well liked by students and fellow lecturers alike.I consider Adie a great professional and I will certainly continue to use his expertises.�€�

�€�Adie and I worked together on a fund raising project at Divert. Adie was able to bring his innate enthusiasm and ability to work with an enormously wide range of people to very good effect. It is these skills, along with his likeability, that will make him a most effective coach and mentor in his new iteration. For the sake of completeness, his profile is considerably lowered by his association with Leeds United, but one can't have everything.�€�

�€�Adie is the most effective executive and sales skills coach I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I have seen, first-hand, the life changing results that he has achieved and would recommend him unreservedly. Just by meeting him you will understand why.�€�
